The 5K

Last weekend, my friends and I signed ourselves up for a 5k. I originally thought it was around a little lake downtown and was excited that it would be flat. Not so. A few days before, I discovered that it would be over a pedestrian bridge. In theory it is pretty cool. It's the largest Pedestrian bridge in the US and the only one that connects two states (Nebraska and Iowa) and it crosses over the Missouri River. But its not really cool when you have to run up over it twice. I didn't like the incline. Anyways, we finished and here are some pictures to prove it.


The Racers: Me, Marykaye, and Melanie

(Apparently, I 'm really tall)



The Course:


(So we ran along the river a little ways, crossed the bridge, ran a little more, turned around and came back the same way)The Finish Line (hallelujah):The Finishers:The Fan Club:

(a little someone did not want to join the picture)


The Spider:

(he would pose for that however)I was glad I did it. Not during the race of course, but afterwards, yes. I may even do another one soon. Once I forget how hard this one was:)

So, I don't think it published my comment. It said, "Seriously, how tall are your friends? Maybe one day I can get my lazy bum moving...but then again maybe not.

Nice work! I think you've inspired me and maybe I'll do one this fall to motivate me to get the baby weight off....

Way to GO Kimmy! What a great time too, I'm so proud of you! I know how anti-running you are. What a cool looking bridge. I wish we could run one together! And yes dear, you are a little tall :)
