Hickory Oktoberfest 10K

HIP_339773383.800253

A couple of girlfriends of mine/gym buddies ran a 10K with me this weekend.

We had a GREAT race! It always makes it easier to run when you run with people. These girls can run and it made the race go a lot smoother knowing they were right there with me pushing me through it.

These two are talking about running a half the first weekend in Dec. Oh well, we already have plans, but I do hope to cross that off my list soon.

I want to thank my sweet husband for dragging the kids out of bed a little early and into the cool air to cheer me on. It was a comfort knowing they would be there.

The kids were pretty impressed that mommy actually won a trophy; 2nd in my age group thank you very much.

My goal is always to simply run the entire race, which I did, but the course was quite hilly! That was definitely my challenge considering that I trained on a treadmill. I am unsure of my official time, but it was somewhere around 58 minutes.

Looking for my next challenge; races are addicting.
