Falls City Run

On Saturday Sam and I and some great friends from town ran in a race in Falls City, NE. My sister was going to come down and run the 10k with me but due to my great uncle not feeling well she stayed home to care for him. I was bummed to not have a buddy so I opted to do the 5k with Sam instead. Sam has been nursing a hurt ankle so he did not want to do the 10k either :( Long story short I debated all night and even the morning of if I should just do the 10k - I needed to get a long run in anyways so why not - when the race started I decided to do the 5k and just give it my all. I ended up running the fastest I ever had (29:22) and to top it all off I came in 3rd in my age group! I was shocked when they called my name for a medal! So I am glad that I did the 5k and had the opportunity to push myself! My friend Sarah did the 10k and came in second overall! She is amazing and has been my inspiration all along! It was a great way to start my weekend!
