Out For Blood

This morning I had the opportunity to participate in a 5K in Oakland. The Red Cross had a 5K at Lake Merritt called "Out For Blood."


(Dad got this shot right as I crossed the finish line!)

This was my first 5K in a year and a half. My only goal was to do it in under 40 minutes. I did it in 39:55; not a fast time, but I met my goal. Next time I want to do it in under 38 minutes.

I'm on the lookout for the next 5K!

Congrats to you! You look so good and strong at the finish line. you must be a runner. ;) I will always remember our early morning runs on the treadmills together and the "favorite color of blue sky" we would see on the way home. You are awesome Saramaca!

I think about those mornings all the time. I can't believe we got up that early!

Thank you for the runner compliment. I am trying to get stronger and build my endurance.

I miss running with you, but you'd kick my trash. =)
