My First 12k!

That's right, my first race ever! A group of friends (my girls I've known since kindergarden!) ran in Bloomsday this weekend! 50, 661 people crossed the finish line, the biggest turnout since 1996. It was so much fun and so exilerating! Our official time was 1:55 but that included a detour to a friend's house in the neighborhood for a potty break and a medical stop when I totally wiped out at mile 3, haha! I brought my Garmin FR60 along, and I started/stopped it during those two detours and it's time said 1:36.We jogged nearly the entire route, except Doomsday hill. I can't wait to do it again next year, sans the road rash!
