Winter Woodland Run by Cheetah Runners - 5k #2 (Event)

Ok, my first live / event / not on a treadmill 5k race. I was super excited and super happy to be running with the little brother. 

I really love my headband.

This race was put on by Cheetah Runners and was awesome. 

Every runner is randomly assigned and animal team (I was hoping for Fox) and the first team to get a certain amount of runner across the finish line won a prize!

I did get fox.

and the brother got bear.

Once the race started I told Peter to just go. I was much slower than he was and I NEEDED to just focus if I was going to finish. 

Peter was in the top 20 finishers. So proud of him!

I wasn't planning on running the whole way, I was going to walk if I needed to, but I got halfway and hadn't stopped yet, so I just thought... "You can do this. You dont need to walk." . . . however I did jog very slowly a few times.

According to my fitbit...

My total time was 43 minutes and 3 seconds. There were a few hills, but they weren't awful. I'm pretty proud of this time. 

We're awesome.

And the Bears won! So peter got a cool little 5K shoe charm.

And I... didn't know what to do with my hands... 

Look, the first medal on and bib on my glorious medal and bib holder.
