Alright..i did it! I was dreading the 5k, thinking I had way too much "fun" in Italy but I made it across the finish line. Must have been the spectacular team shirts we got!! GO TEAM! It turned out to be a very hot day...well for running but a beautiful Sunday. The race kicked off at 11:15 which was hard for me to run at that time but somehow I beat my old time-I crossed at 29:06. OK so checkout the 2nd photo...I am thinking I am not having so much fun in that one (taken at the 3 mile mark)...man that makes me laugh! I had run up the hill in front of Providence Place Mall to cross the finish-whew. I was pretty dizzy and dehydrated but got the high from the accomplishment.
