10K - Owwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!

Hubby and I ran a 10k yesterday morning - it was the 20th annual Chile Pepper race, a 10k cross country race. I did ok considering I haven't been running much at all and hadn't even run in 10 days with vacation, etc. Ran the 6.2 miles in 53 minutes - 8:30 pace. Again, happy with my time b/c of how little I have been running and b/c it is cross country which means I could probably run faster on the road. Which brings me to today....OWWWWW....my leggies are really sore...I am so glad I didn't do legs later in the day yesterday - I had considered it. Whoa!

Hubby did great! Ran it in 45 minutes - and considering we BOTH just came back from a week of eating and drinking - he did awesome.

More later kids. Have some news to share with you later today. :)

HI Jessica~

I just found your blog thru comments on others. Hope you don't mind me reading.

I don't consider myself a great runner either, but on the one race I did (5miler), my time was pretty good...and that is with no training.

Way to go on the run!

=)

"let me guess the news... you are expecting a Mexican love child, right?"

Stef,

SO glad you found my blog! Yeah! Would you mind adding me to your blog so I can follow your journey? If not, I completely understand - but would love your support as well. jess.butler@gmail.com is my email address.

I run with my hubby because it is something we love to do together. And I like the feeling of accomplishment! It is great! And I love the camaraderie! People are so supportive! Thanks for your kind words!

C -

You crack me up...no Mexican love child although we did have a lot of fun working on things if you know what I am saying. Wink, wink.

Thanks for complimenting me on the wheels - I do my best! :)
