Cookie Chaser

 I ran my first ever 5K last Saturday. It was sponsored by the Girl Scouts and called the "Cookie Chaser." Great for motivation, huh? It was a really cold morning, but in hindsight I think that was good to prevent getting overheated. I had Adelyn wrapped up pretty good and she hung out with Brett in the stroller while I raced with Dad, Angela, and David (and Melanie in the jogging stroller.)
It was actually a lot more fun that I thought it would be. I had never run in a race before, I usually just jog on the treadmill for exercise ("fake running" whilst watching Alias, at the moment), but this was a lot more fun. I think I would like to try for a 10K later in the year. My official time was 30:25, so about a 10 minute mile? I think I could probably do better.
P.S. The cookies were not so good.
