5k Fun

I ran my first official 5k since high school! It was the Turkey Trot in Loveland on Thanksgiving 2012.  It was a pleasant 46 degrees and calm, with sunshine and few clouds. There were over 2100 participants!

Anyway, it was a lot of fun to run this with my mom and dad, who both did great! As for my time, I managed to come in under 24 minutes, which was my goal. Hopefully, I can be faster next year! I officially trained for this one for about 10 days.

These pics were taken by a race photographer, and I had to pay for them. Maybe next time I can convince my WIFE to come watch the family run!

This was right at the beginning of the race. Notice the lack of fatigue.

And this is right at the end. It looks like I'm jumping as I kick it out towards the finish line!
