WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There's something very SURREAL about running your first 10K race down the longest road in Canada, with approximately 13,000 other runners, for the most amazing cause - to help send kids with cancer to camp.

First of all, thanks to the incredible fundraising efforts by all involved, we were able to raise the goal of $1,000,000!!! isn't that amazing?!

Now as for the race... holy cow!! there aren't enough words to describe that experience. Remember, before this morning, I had never run more than 6.15km at a time. EVER!

Well, I am very proud and excited to report that I ran my very first 10K in 1:04:05.1!!!! with NO WALKING!! I still can't believe that I actually did it! This time 4.5 months ago, I still hadn't even started C25K yet!! And having my bf by my side the entire time was just icing on the cake. I can't believe how fast the time seemed to fly. I remember as we approached the 4k water station i looked at him and said "umm we're at 4k already?!" next thing we knew we were at the 7k sation! .... I only had 1 VERY BAD moment in the race.. funny enough probably around the 9k mark, when I got the most painful stitch in my stomach. honestly, i've never felt such pain in that spot EVER. i slowed down, but did NOT walk.. concentrated on nothing but my breathing for what felt like the longest 2 minutes ever, but finally it passed and I was able to power on through. next thing i knew, the finish line was in sight and it was like my only focus was on that. The feeling of accomplishment as I crossed that line was incredible!

So glad I decided to go ahead with this race. It's definitely going to be an annual thing for my boyfriend and I for years to come!

As for now, we're just going to stick to some 5Ks and work on our speed. Perhaps another 10k will be in our future come the fall!

....still can't believe that I actually RAN 10K yesterday!! wow!

There are many pics here if interested!
