10-1-11 NORTH COUNTY WINE RUN

My friends convinced me to run a 10K this year!  Ellen and I trained for about 1 month before the race…they trained all summer!  We laced our running shoes early each morning and did it!  My goal was to be able to run the entire race, but there was a HUGE and I do mean HUGE hill on the 7th mile.  I almost made it to the top, but had to stop and catch my breath for about 10 seconds, then we kept on going!  I didn’t think I would ever be able to run a race like this, but let me tell you, I couldn’t have done it without my running buddy, Ellen!  We kept each other motivated and put one foot in front of the other and finished 1:10:41!  I was so proud of myself! It’s a lot harder to run outside than on an elliptical!
