5K Part Deux

Rain, hail, sunshine..living in Seattle guarantees the unexpected.  I love living here, don't mind walking in the rain, so today's walk in my second official 5k was a pretty perfect day!  We walked the Can Do 5K in Bothell WA.  The walk benefitted children with special needs, funding special programs.  It was a pleasure to be part of this event in it's 4th year. It was even more special that I had SBF and my mom with me to do the deed.  

We woke up at the butt crack, had our Shakeology tasty beverage breakfast and prepared for the drive to Bothell. SBF got up early and did a quick 9ish miles before he joined us just in the nick of time to begin!  It was raining the whole way and we were soaked the cold before it started.  It didn't take long though before our blood was pumping and we were half way in.  Mom and I walked at a good pace while SBF jogged backward in front of us once more.  He got a lot of high fives and comments with his backward jogging, which were well deserved!  I think I had a pretty good time this round, finishing the 3.1 miles in 1:02:58.  Details can be found at: my Can Do 5K results. 


If I have any regrets for today it is that my sister wasn't able to join us...that was a total bummer.  All in all, I am very pleased all around with today and am anxious to start my next journey...on the way to the 10k!  My training is designed and the date picked. Look out 5/22/12.. I'm coming at ya!
