This past Saturday, I completed my first EVER 5K race! At the end of July, Dennis and I began a new quest to become more fit. We joined the gym and haven't looked back since!
I have myself on a strict schedule of 3 days of running between 2-3 miles (using the Couch-to-5K app on my Iphone) and 2-3 days of either Turbo Kick (a cardio kickboxing class) or Zumba (aerobic dance).
The 5K we (my sister-in-law, Jenny, and I and several of her friends) completed, was called the "Mud and Muck" Race. They were a super fun bunch! The proceeds of the race went to benefit Harvesters. We ran the trail at Unity Village in Lee's Summit, plus they added a disgusting "mud pit". Which I chose not to partake in... As you can see in the picture below.

| Although I didn't go through the mud pit, my team greeted me at the finish line with a giant hug! So, I got a little muddy :) |

| The back of the team tank tops! I dubbed myself "Meatball", as in MEATBALL PROBLEMS!!!! |
 |
| The front of the team tank. The team name was "The Real Housewives/Husbands of Lee's Summit", but seeing as we live in Waldo, mine was a little different! |
