Freedom 5k Run

For the 4th of July I did the Freedom 5k run with my friends Carrie and Craig and two other guys, Brian and Chris. It was actually a lot of fun and I enjoyed myself. Usually I would have been at the parade and doing things with family, but everyone is in California. It was definitely a weird 4th of July, since I didn't have all the family over, but it was still fun. I'm glad that Carrie encouraged me to do the race with her. In the end, I actually did a whole lot better than I thought I would. I ran it in 32:38 minutes, which meant I was running at a 10:32 minute mile pace. It's a lot better than I've done in the past and I feel pretty proud of myself. Now I have a cool running shirt and a medal. Probably the only running medal I'll ever get.
