Firecracker 5K yeah, I did it!

What a beautiful morning it was on the 4th of July! Great day for a 5K! Here I am with Jeremy Jones, the 5K winner. I tried a different strategy this time, ran as much as I could then walked and continued that thru the run.

Kerri Drees 42:50

there's my time. My Fargo Marathon time was 44:57. so I beat it by about 2 minutes and 7 seconds! Hey, every second counts! That's all I wanted to do, beat my last 5k time!

Yesterday, I went out for my run/walk and I was amazed at how well I felt and did! I actually didn't hate it! LOL, that is amazing! I hate running, I am terrible at it.....but like I said, yesterday actually felt really good! Maybe i'll start to like it!

If you would like to join me Saturday August 2nd for the 5K or half marathon(yeah right), I will be doing the Cats Incredible 5K. Join me! http://www.gfymca.org/ for details or email me!

Take Care
Kerri
