I gave it all I had. At the end, I thought I was going to die, my heart was pumping so hard, my throat hurt from the cold air. I really gave it all I had and I was so happy with my time. I thought I came in at 21:23 but 21:28 is okay too.

This is my fastest 5K time ever! My first 5K was this same race 2 years ago and I did it in 24minutes...I have improved a little bit :).

My son and hubby did the same race. Hubby finished in 19:20--got first in his age group.

My son finished in 25minutes--he is 8yrs old!!!! He finished 1st in his age group too!

I did good enough to get 2nd in my age group and 5th in women's. 5 seconds faster and I would have been 1st in my age group.

For now, I will be coughing for the rest of the day...my lungs hurt!
