Posing with the start line in the distance
This evening I ran the Ottawa Race Weekend 10K, the weather was beautiful... a little warmer than I'd like to run in but that's okay.
All thumbs up and smiles!!!
Christin almost missed me crossing the start!
I was definitely not as "ready" as I was for last year's race. Last year I ran the entire 10K without stopping, which was my goal! I finished it in just over 71 minutes. This year I made it to about the 5K mark before I needed to start run/walking (run 5min/walk 1 min). The end result is I'm about 7 minutes slower than last year, I crossed the finish line in about 78 minutes.
OMG look at all of those people waiting to start!!!! The crowd goes further back than you see!
Lots of people came out to cheer
The elite men taking off (the first person to cross the line was a Kenyan in 22 minutes!)
The elite women! Crap they can run!!!!
I may not of set a new personal best, but I went, I did, I conquered!
Post-race thumbs up!!!
Now to start running a little more often and work in distances more... I'd like to do a half marathon in the fall again!

A HUGE thanks to
Christin for coming along to support and be my "Race Day Sherpa/aka Bitch"! Thanks C! All of these pictures were courtsey of Christin.
We celebrated with sundaes!

Great job Dani. Congratulations!! 78 minutes sounds fast to me. It would have taken me 78 days.

Congratulations, Dani. You should be very proud of yourself. Me, I can barely run around the park. You've inspired me to at least get out there and walk.
Good for you, Dani--congratulations on a great race :)
