[You can't see my cat tail that I ended up with when I searched the Halloween store for 45 minutes...Pre-race]
Well my goal was to not come in last (which the goal quickly changed to finishing without walking). I'm happy to say I met both goals :) I don't know what the hell kind of shape I was in before. It was effing hard to run the entire 5k! JA and I came around the last corner and had the finish line in sight. The clock was ticking. JA gave me a push and said, "Come on, let's make it under 40." I literally said, "I can't." I cringe at those words now. I honestly did not think I could speed up any faster. I may have sped up a few milliseconds worth; I used all my energy left to cross the finish line. I made it in at 40 minutes and 10 seconds. I'm proud of it! We did it. It was hot as hell at 2:30 with the sun beating down on us. Next time, I'm going to finish in 39 minutes. I also get to mark this off my 101 in 1001!
I'm still trying to figure out what D and I are doing for Thanksgiving holidays. If we stay in Raleigh, JA and I are going to run the Turkey Trot 8k. I want to stay in Raleigh just to run that :)
Update: Official times found here stated I came in at 40:11 with a pace of 12:57.

Well done!! There's no way in hell I'd be able to make it to 5k's without passing out. I'm impressed with anyone who can.
Good for you, what a fun way to spend Halloween! You both look adorable.
