Barber to Boise 10k

So, I competed in my first race ever on October 15, 2011. I was really nervous. I guess just because of the unknown. I didn't want to look like a total dork out there. And of course I have no pictures to show for it. Jared was hunting and the kids were over at the McClinns. Emilee so graciously offered to watch them for me. I didn't eat much because I didn't want to make myself sick. The race started and I felt pretty good. I ran the whole distance without stopping and got a time of 58:07, which I am very happy with. I ran a 9:22 mile. I wanted to finish in under an hour. So woohoo for me. 6.2 miles seemed so far out of reach for me, so I am very glad I accomplished that goal. 6 months ago I thought that 6 miles was so far out of my reach. I started doing Crossfit with Jared down at the highschool gym and I really believe that is what really helped me out. My goal is to be able to do a half marathon this Summer with Jared.
