Meet Me Downtown Tucson 5K

Our first race was the Meet Me Downtown Tucson Night Run 5K. We were not sure what to expect as far as the whole race thing went. We got there really early and got our bibs and shirts and got ready to go. An hour later we lined up. Another predicament...where do we line up in the big mob? Surely we werent fast, but we were going to be running. We picked a spot and hoped for the best.

It was over 100 degrees, even after the sun had set. It was a struggle to run the whole thing, and once we turned the last corner and saw the finish line, I turned to Matt and asked if he had any kick left. Of course he said no, then smiled, then took off. I took off after him. We finished in 31:02 and argued about who really finished first. In the long run, it didnt matter. All that mattered is we finished, together!
