Run Mollie Run

So I completed my first race ever...well, if you don't count the jog-a-thons in elementary school. Sunday was the Nike Run Hit Wonder and I ran the 5k. Woo-wee! It was soo much fun...I had a blast. There were one hit wonder bands situated at each mile of the course...A Flock of Seagulls, General Public, Ton Loc, and the finish line concert was Devo. Man, they were awesome...way old now, but still awesome. It was scorchering hot on Sunday which made it really difficult to keep running, but thanks to Brittany and her motivational cheering on, I was able to run the whole race and finish. Woo hoo! My official time was 39 minutes and 8 seconds, but we stopped 3 times to hear the bands. The stopping and going was nice because it gave me a little break, but then again, made it that much more difficult to get going again. It really feels great though to be able to say I ran in a race and being there with thousands of other runners was such a thrilling experience. It really motivates me to want to run more and do better (time-wise). Next stop...Revlon Run/Walk for Womens Cancers. Huzzah!
