5K

My friend Amy and I decided that we wanted to try and run a 5K before I left for Africa. Neither one of us really liked running before we started, but the more we ran, the easier it was and the more we enjoyed it. Once we hit the point where we were able to run three miles, we signed up for a 5K.Saturday was the day of the race and it was really fun. We were able to run the whole way and ran faster then we had run when we were just training. Yeah!

One of the reasons that I love Amy is that she is willing to do crazy fun things with me. We decided we wanted to hike the Grand Canyon, so we trained and we did it. We wanted to run a 5K and we did it! Our next physical feat... climbing another 14er.
