Huntington Beach 5K

On the morning of 4th of July, I participated in my second 5K with my friend Tina and trainer and friend Meghan. I wasn't quite in as good as shape as I was for the Seal Beach race a few months back but I huffed and puffed my way through it. We all had fun doing it and completing the run made the cocktails I drank and the loads of food I ate throughout the day seem just a tad bit less "bad" for me! LOL!

Meghan's dad rode around on his bike and snapped photos of us throughout the morning. It was actually kind of exciting having an actual "fan" follow us around and take our pictures (even though he wasn't really MY fan but Meghan's instead). Now I know how all those celebs feel about the paparazzi! ha-ha-ha!!!

I could not believe how many people run this race!! We are actually in this picture... Click on it to make it larger and then look to the left behind the guy in the orange vest. We started about half way in the pack and look how many people are still behind us!!

Must still be early in the race because I am still smiling! I never walked once (having Meghan there kept me going) which I was proud of. Meghan never even broke a sweat and talked the whole time to keep me entertained! What a great trainer. Tina has become a regular at these 5K/10K runs so we were moving a bit too slow for her speedy pace! I wish to be her someday.

Here we are post run. Phewwww... it's over!
I'm hooked though, I can't wait to do another one!
