Staffellauf 09

Yesterday I ran my first race, in pretty much my entire life. I have never really been a very big runner, but my friend convinced me to join her and 3 others to run in a relay race, or staffellauf. The race was 25km all together, so each person ran 5km. For those of you km challenged, that is a little over 3 miles. I have trained for a couple weeks now, but wasn't really sure how I would do. I ended up running the 5k in 25 minutes. I was proud of that time. We dressed in silly outfits and had a lot of fun with the race.
Here are some pictures taken at the race.
This is me and my friend Amy before the race started.
Me after running, I think I look damn good :)
My friend Sarah, in the final seconds of the race. She looks so serious.

I am starting to appreciate running, we will see if I continue to do so in the future. Also you can find more pictures on Facebook. We took most of the pictures with my friend Sarah's camera.

Congrats on your first race! And you do look pretty darn hot after running a 5k!
