Brandon, Dad, Cory, and I all completed the Cowtown 10K on Saturday! It went really well. Brandon and I had wanted to finish in under an hour, but we didn't quite meet our goal. He finished in 1:01, and I finished in 1:03. We still felt good about our race, and we definitely learned a few things in the process. The most annoying part of the whole thing was trying to dodge past all the slow runners. We started in the back of the pack, and we spent the first two miles weaving in and out of all the slow runners and walkers. We still kept a good pace, and it was really fun to run it with him. He just left me for the last 1/2 mile or so to try to reach his goal time. I think if he was on his own, he would have gone a lot faster. :) Cory just decided to run at the last minute, and they both finished with a great time. Dad was thinking that it would take him about 2 hours, but they finished in 1:20! That was much better than they were anticipating. Cory was just glad to participate and finish. I was really proud of him since he had only been running for about two weeks before the race!
My knee felt pretty good. I had a guy tape it with this special Kinesio tape when we were at the convention, and it worked great! It hurt a little during the run, but I had none of the normal pain afterwards! I am thinking about trying to run more now, if that tape keeps working that well. We'll see.
It was so amazing to see the girls waiting for me at the finish line. Kris had them in the stroller, and as I ran up Adilyn yells, "Go Mommy!" So sweet. I love that they see me doing things that are physically demanding, so that they can believe that things like that are possible for them too! One day, I hope to be able to run the 5 or 10K with both of them.
