Somehow I completely spaced on posting this. On Sunday, Amanda and I ran in our first-ever 5K race. My time was 35:34, which is my best time so far. It would have been much faster if it wasn’t so HOT out… over 90 degrees, with humidity just about as high. The heat sucked the life out of me, and I ended up walking for a little over a mile of the course.
We were running for the Angel Guardians non-profit:
The mission of Angel Guardians, Inc. is to help put the puzzle pieces of life together for teenagers and adults with cognitive and developmental disabilities. While many opportunities and programs exist for children with special needs, there is a void as the children reach maturity. Angel Guardians, Inc. was created to enrich the lives of these individuals through adulthood.
Pretty cool stuff.
I am so proud of Amanda. She hates running, but she stuck with her training program and completed the race with a time of 36:31.
Overall I am satisfied with both of our times (given the heat), and am really looking forward to running in another 5k. I will probably wait until fall to race again, and in the meantime only run in the early mornings like I have been… the heat is just too much.
