My first 10K race!

So here it goes... Sunday morning Bre (my sis in-law) and I woke up at 4 am to catch our train so we could get to our 10K race in Central Park! It was such a warm sunny day perfect for running.  I was so nervous I haven't ever run that far before. I made it through and here are the pictures of every mile. We ran the entire thing, no walking or slowing down just kept a steady pace. It was so fun, there were around 7,000 women racing which was awesome!  Mile 1 Yay!
2 down and totally happy not knowing there was a giant hill up ahead :(  
(up right) Mile 3 hating the hills! they were all over the place in this race
                                              Mile 4- 2/3 the way done !!
                     It made me so happy Mark came to support me. This was  a huge accomplishment for me. I am so proud of myself. It sounds dumb to all you runners cuz it's 6.2 miles, but that's a lot for me! I seriously wanted to cry at the end. I would get goosebumps every mile marker we passed just because it was so overwhelming, the people, being in New York in Central Park. so fun and amazing. Thanks Bre for getting me to do this. Glad we did!
(1/2 marathon in September is next I guess)
Maybe.....
