Turkey Day 5K

That's right.  On Thanksgiving morning Andrew and I started off the day with a 5K run.  It wasn't an official race, but we got together with a group of our friends and set off.  My awesome friend Heidi ran her first 5K that day with us!  I convinced her to do it with me and I am so glad she did.  We had so much fun!  We are planning to run the firecracker 5K at Sauvie Island in July, too.  Bring it on!

The only thing about this route that we did was that we were told it would have two "slight" inclines.  There was nothing slight about them!  And there were more than two of them;)  I had hoped to set a PR for this 5K, but I couldn't quite do it.  I was a little concerned when I finished because of hard it was for me.  I was training for a 10K race that was only a couple weeks away so I knew I had to get my act together when it came to hills.  For the next couple of weeks I ran a lot more hills.  I hate hills.  I hate running.  But, I now know that I can do it.
