This morning started out super early! Like 4:45am early! Emily was sweet enough to let me crash at her house last night since she lives close to the U, and that's where the race started. She even drove me to the race. I experienced my first race alone. I didn't have anyone to run with. I started alone and finished alone and am super proud of myself for doing it. Here I am right before we left the house.
The race started at 6am. There were tons of people there and I just love the atmosphere of this race. It's fun and energetic. You run along the parade route for the last half and a lot of people cheer you on. I felt really good running the entire time.
And here I am finishing the race. I was so proud because I beat my time from last year by 9 minutes
Yay! Last year I felt icky afterwards and this year I felt great. It was so nice of Emily to be there for me at the finish too! My parents couldn't come because of all the crowds and with my mom's surgery it's hard for her to walk long distances and there were TONS of people there. So sweet Emily stayed.

And here we are chilling on the grass while I took a breather and drank some powerade and water.
Afterwards we went to Einsteins and had a big bowl of fruit and bagels.
I love the way running makes me feel. Stay tuned for the next race I will be running in the near future!
