My first honest-to-goodness race.

Yesterday was the Veterans Day 10K. I got my butt up at 6:15 on a Sunday morning (what!?), headed down to West Potomac Park, threw on the very cool chrono-track timer, and pinned on my bib for a morning of running with about 2900 other people. Fun.

I was one of the last finishers, but I don't care. It was fun, and felt good--I ran the whole thing and got to experience what a race will feel like and how that will effect my mood/adrenaline/etc for the half-marathon.

Kudos to my teammate Alexa for coming up with the idea and being a partner in crime for this early morning Sunday adventure! Today, my legs get a little break. 20 Days til Vegas!
