I have officially completed my first race! Despite the rainy weather, I ran in the Perseverance 5K Race this morning (aptly named, I know) in 25:02. Not my best time, but I am beyond satisfied with my racing experience. Reaching the finish line made me realize how far my body has come in the past 5 years--there is no way I could have competed back then with my restrictive eating habits. Here's to a future filled with healthful eating and a healthy body! I can't wait to run another race.
Check out a few pics from the race:






Here are the racing goodies:

Mostly coupons to stores selling track supplies and sporting goods, plus an energy gel thing and lip balm. No mini Laras this time!
Thanks to my family for showing up to cheer me on in the icky conditions:)
Enjoy your Saturday!
