My first 5K!

Happy Independence Day!!!
I ran my first 5K this morning on Coronado Beach, down by the beautiful Hotel del Coronado. 3.1 miles doesn't sound like that far, but I despise running with a passion, and running this thing without stopping to walk was my goal, and I actually did it, and that was a major accomplishment for me! I got goosebumps as we crossed the finish line (I ran with one of the counselors from camp and another girl from my team).

Here's a pic from my cell phone ... not great quality, but had to leave the digital camera with Dan so he could send me pics of the kids every day! It was foggy the whole time we ran, the sun started peeking out just for the last 1/2-mile, or so.
