Running for 2013

Well, its been a long time since I posted about my running, mostly because I haven't been much a runner lately.

In 2012 I ran 4 5Ks. The Wine Country 5K in Paso Robles CA which I ran in 31:52, at a 10:16 pace. I came in 11th in my age range and 48th overall for women. This was a really fun 5K and Traver and I did it together! Traver kicked butt! He ran it in 20:17 at a 6:32 pace. He was second in his age group and 4th for the men! So cool to do a race like this with him!!!We  had a lot of friends do the half marathon, and we got to go wine tasting with a bunch of them after which was awesome!

The second 5K I did was the Color Me Rad in Fresno. Now if you know anything about this race you know its a fun run, not so much a 'race'! We were a huge mess and covered covered covered in color, but it was so fun!!!! Myself and several of my Lady Aces ran/walked it together! It was so great to go out as a group and do something active and fun. We even made shirts with our hubby's call signs on them and ran it for them! It was so much fun!!!!

The third 5K was the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in Reno NV. I ran this with old race group from 2011 (Mom, Renee, Amy, and PJ) and it was so fun to get all dressed up in pink and run for a cure for breast cancer. I ran this race in 31:14 and at a 10:04 pace. This was an awesome race. We ran around the Grand Sierra Resort up at Reno and it was so great! Such a great cause and such a great race!

My fourth 5K of 2012 was the Goblin's Gallop. I ran this with Jess and Hanna (and by ran, I mean walked haha). It was an early morning, small town run in Lemoore (where we live) and as we were all rather tired we decided to enjoy the walk more than trying to run the whole thing. It was fun and a good way to get out and get active, but definitely not a big race!

NOW into 2013!!!!! I have been really really running this year. So far I have done 2 5Ks and I have another 2 in the next month.

I ran the Super Bowl Sprint in Visalia CA. I ran this with two of my Lady Aces and had so much fun! It was of course stupid early and very very foggy! It was so cold and clammy the whole time. By the end I felt like I had been swimming haha. The race was good, but unfortunately the course was a little short. At least according to my gps app on my phone and my knowledge of my pace... But none the less here are the 'race' results. Time 29:33, pace 9:32... now as I said this is not a super accurate time. According to my app it was only 2.88 miles in that time. But still officially, it was a PR, but I dont count it as such.

I did the graffiti 5K last weekend with Jess, and again its a fun run, not so much a race. So it was more about just enjoying some exercise and having a good time!

Now this coming weekend I have the Wine Country 5K again and I am really excited about it! I am hoping to actually PR on this one and will post about that one when I get home! Cant wait to see how I do!
