Inman Elementary 5K

This past Saturday, Mikey and I joined Kim and Corey for the "Inman Elementary 5K Race" in Fayetteville.  Corey found the race online, and since Kim and I have been walking/running so much, we all thought it would be fun.  We were right!  It was a trail run on some old farm land, with lots of bumps and hills and a little pond (reminded me of the Hunger Games).

The race started at 8am, so we all planned to get there around 7:30.  Early morning for me!!  Mikey helped me WAKE UP by driving quite fast on the way there.  Got my blood flowing!

Kim and I ran about 4 miles earlier that week, and our mile pace was, sadly, right around 10 minutes per mile.  I was bummed, because I was certain we were running faster than that.  Anyway, our goal was to keep our pace under 10 minutes per mile.  As we passed the first mile marker, we were at 8:20.  Yikes!  It must have been the adrenaline.  Kim said to me "wow, we are going so fast" and she THINKS I replied "no, no, I'm feeling great"....but I didn't say that.  She must have been hearing a mockingjay, because I was dying so no way I would've said that.  ;)   haha

Anyway, we finished in 27:25 (I think) and we were all in different age brackets.  Kim was in the 25-29 and I was in the 30-34 so we each won a little water bottle.  Corey killed it too...he's way fast, and of course he won his age group too.  Mikey really impressed me by getting a great time after not running in over a month!

Here's a couple iPhone pics after the run...

Why does Corey look so sad all the time?
