Burke loved being here so much that he cut and tried to get a good time!
This was taken near the start line right before we took off.
This was at the finish line. My 2 friends Gaylene on my right and Olga on my left finished with Olga- 2:12 and Gaylene- 2:13. They came to run alongside me and encourage me to finish at 2:20:42. What fun this was. I wish my whole family would do this with me. It was about 8.5-9.0 Miles of uphill and 4 miles flat or downhill. It was exactly what they named it for- the Rim Country Challange. I averaged about 10:45 min. miles. kinda slow but I did it and that's all I wanted! Was to finish.
The man took my tag on the bottom of my number for my time.
Jason kept the kids busy playing at the park and feeding the ducks while I ran. They also met me at mile 6.5 (halfway) to encourage me and give me some energy before I hit Airport Rd. (tough uphill). I love my sweet husband and my kids. It was so fun having them there to cheer me on. Burke at first said " Mom, I'm so glad you won!" Then the next day after he thought about it he said, " Mom, you were slow. Alot of people came in before you!" I think I am addicted and I want everyone to come, who wants to do it with me? Our next run is a 5k at Gilbert Days!!
