Healthy Kidney 10K Run.

we did it!

 we ran our first 10K!!

so happy the smith's ran with us and 5849 other runners.

before the race started i had major butterflies 

i was feeling so excited then anxious then excited again.

my nerves quickly subsided when the horn sounded and i jogged through the starting line.

we ran a full loop around central park, it was beautiful.

 there were a lot of unexpected hills (a few that nearly killed me) 

 we were also running in 97% humidity... yikes!

somehow, we all made it across the finish line and, oh my, it felt so good!!

manda & i before the race.

 and so it begins...

 and the winner is... ME!!

(yeah right)

the real winner was lenonard patrick komon from kenya.

(of course it was)

he won $30,000 buckaroos... not too shabby if ya ask me! 

 victory!
