Ran the Crescent City Classic 10k this morning with my husband and Ryan. It was a beautiful day and a great run! It was fun to see all the free beer and doughnuts on the route and a guy dressed up in a devil costume offering hotdogs to runners. My time was 47 mins- 7:47 ave pace on the garmin.

I was happy with it...the first mile was so slow because of how packed it was...it was hard weaving in and out of all the walkers and slower runners. Justin's time was @40 minutes which he could have done a lot faster but hasn't been feeling well(That's Kelli's brother so of course he is fast just like her!)

WOW!! Great job on that 10k. Those shorter races are so hard for me, I just can not every get into a groove! I feel like I am sprinting the entire time. My ONLY 10k ever was also 47 minutes, so watch who you are calling fast! If I am, then what are you?????? Look at that 6:49 mile! What the heck!?!

And Justin did it in 40 minutes? HOLY SMOKES!!!! He always was the fastest child in the family, and he does not even try.
