4th of July 5k

My parents are in town for the holiday weekend, and they came with me to cheer me on in the 4th of July 5k in Redondo Beach. I was not the happiest camper to be waking up at 6:15 AM on a day off, but I'm really glad I got up early- it was a fun race. A few TNT friends who are in my pace group ended up running the race as well, so it was fun to run the whole thing together. Some other TNT folks ran as well, but they were a little faster than us so we held our own. That's something really fun about a race- you realize that you're not the fastest but you're certainly not the slowest either. Here are a few photos from the race:Mom, Dad & I before the race

You can see my green shirt coming round the home stretch along the ocean...

We ran it in 36:37, running 7 minutes, then walking 1 minute, which is pretty good for us! We all felt great after the race, too, which is a good way to finish!
