About two weeks ago Randy mentioned I should sign up for the Bluebell 5k. I have never been a runner and haven't even been walking or anything for about a year. I thought he was crazy and I guess I was too because I let him sign me up. We went out in the evening two times this past week and walk/jogged for 3.1 miles just to see how long it was gonna take me. Randy was able to talk a good friend from Magnolia into going and walking/jogging with me. We had a great time and she could have finished much faster but stayed with me. Thanks JoAnna! She even pushed her two girls in a double jogging stroller which was not an easy thing to do since the course was very hilly. I ended up finishing with a time of 43 min and 28 seconds. As you can see, I'm slow! But I was pleased because I just wanted to do it in 45 min or less! I think I'm gonna start really training and do anther one in October!
Randy ran the 10k which started 15 min before the 5k and he passed us near the end. His time was 52 min 17 secs. He has only been running for about a month now so he was pretty pleased with his time too.
Church staff that ran: Garrett (college intern), Randy (youth minister), Renee (childrens interim and preschool minister), and Tanner (media director).
