It was a late afternoon/early evening run in downtown Memphis. To be honest, I was worried about making a fool of myself because most of the people who were running the 5K looked fit and young. I was worried I would be left in the dust. I was still hoping to come in under 30 minutes. 
Waiting for the race to beginThrough out the week, I think I started to develop a cold of some sort and had problems breathing because I was coughing. When I crossed the finish line, I had a major coughing fit.
Of course for the final stretch of the race I had my cute little crew cheering me on! I really enjoyed having the support on the last part of the race. I also was pleased that my dad could be there for the race. It really meant a lot for me to have him there.
As I rounded the final corner of the track, I noticed that the clock read 29:55 or so. I knew I couldn't make the last little bit in under five seconds. I was so disappointed that I was so close to my goal and yet so far. My final time for the race was 30:18; a personal best!
It was fun to run the race with a whole group of friends from our ward. I was one of the few of the group who didn't run the race with a stroller.
