Ok.. so everything is going splendidly!! Chris and I got up on early Saturday morning (I can't believe I actually go him out of bed that early)and headed over to the Dallas Arboritum to the Tours De Fleurs 10K & 20K race. There must have been 3000 people there. It was sooo crowded. The horn sounded at 7:30am and we were off.
I pretty much stayed at a good pace the entire way. I wasn't there to try to win or anything.. just to train and have a good time. About 1/2 way through the race the hills started.. WOW. I had not trained on any hills at this point b/c there really are none in Frisco. Along with the hills started the cramps in my side. OUCH. I was really hurting and wanted to walk a little, but then I looked up and read the guy running in front of me's shirt. It said: "Pain is just weakness, leaving the body".... Man... I was like... ok weakness.. be gone!! So I kept going and enduring the pain (which went away a few min. later). Go me. When I finished Chris was standing at the finish line taking my picture. Unfortunatly it came out blurry. I think the website should have some photo's though.. they were taking pics the entire way (about every 200m).
After the race we went and ate breakfast at The Origional Pancake House.
Here are my official results:
In my age group(25 - 29), I came in: 16th out of 174
Overall I came in: 262 out of 1122
My finishing time was: 55:45 (min/sec)
I averaged: 8:46 min. mile
