TBT 5k Edition

It's been a really long time since I've thrown it back. This Thrusday is all about the 5k's I've run. There are a few races where I don't have any pictures - or can't find any - like the one where I fought the entire time to not have a major bathroom accident - that Turkey Trot was super fun!

My very first race ever. Beat Coach Pete down in Boise - I definitely made it challenging. I hadn't really run much before this race, and I just went pedal to the metal in the beginning and just about died when I realized I had only gone 1 mile. I ended in 30ish minutes and did beat Pete. Except I missed out on the tee-shirt that "proves" I beat Pete - so what do they do - ask me if I want a shirt that says, "I'LL BEAT PETE NEXT YEAR". Yeah no thanks. Oh and thanks Mom for being my personal aid station and Dad for being my photographer.

Another 5k I did - The Race 2 the Summit 2012. I did the 5k and got first in my age group! What?! I had to ask if I heard that right too. I finished in 40ish minutes but I think the course ended up being close to 4 miles so thats not to bad!

Race for the Cure this last May - we got to walk with my itty bitty nephew!!! I love these girls so much! I had such a blast having girl time. Speaking of girl time, I think I hear Boise calling my name! ; )

Here's another fun one I did - I don't know what it is about 5ks that feel so hard. Maybe its because I feel like I need to go fast to keep up with the crowds, I'm more of a slow and steady for lots and lots of miles type o girl.

I'm off to run those hills! Wish me luck that hill repeats don't kill me its been quite a few months since I chose this form of torture.

Thanksgiving Eve

We are staying at my MIL's house for the duration of our trip and when I walked in this morning it smelled absolutely delicious! I am counting down the hours until I can stuff my face. Clearly I am not listening to my own advice.

This morning I was suppose to attend a super awesome spin class, at the ripe hour of 5:30AM but when I woke up I had an email from the studio that they had to cancel. They couldn't find a sub. Bummer - no awesome work out for me this morning. In all reality I should've done a work out at home but my bed just sucked me in. Weird how that happens.

Last night I went to another one of my Dad's games. They won and played really well! 

We stopped at Whole Foods to get some dinner. I had salad bar and it wasn't that great I was kind of sad. Whenever I get salad bar it's always delicious - maybe my taste buds were just off. The picture looks good at least!

Sorry for lack of work out posts. This whole no running thing is really bumming me out this week. Only two more weeks until I can take it easy and maybe run 1 mile! I love working out but nothing really compares to running. 

Tomorrow morning I'm going to my first spectator gig. I'm going to cheer on all the participants at the Turkey Trot 5K.

Happy Thanksgving Eve!
