dam...i'm a runner

last weekend i completed my first dam to dam race here in des moines. although i wasn't breaking any records - i'm pretty darn proud of myself for how i did. i came in under the time i wanted and felt good during and after the run. if you're interested - 20k race - chip time 2:07:28 - pace 10:15

the morning started off cool and cloudy - but perfect conditions for a long run on a june day

getting ready to start...

a little butt shot as i fly by

after the finish with my running partner

it's races like these and results like these that make me so happy that i've found a way to stay healthy that i actually love. if you asked me 7 years ago if i ever thought i could do this - i would have adamantly said NO WAY! it feels really good to say that i am a runner today and really mean it

and of course, after 12 miles...

i deserved a little pampering on my tootsies! ;)

thanks to hubs for setting this up for me

we are headed to the lake tonight

enjoy your weekends

xoxo
