Seal Beach 5K

Today is the Seal Beach 5k Race to raise funds and awareness for recreation programs, services, and facilities in the greater Seal Beach community.  Also for support in cancer too.  This is my very 1st 5k run that I've been actually training for.  Ever since I started boot camp, I've also been running with Liz!  She's been a great inspiration to me to get going with all this exercise!  I actually love it! 

The sign, you know I'm a scapper when I start taking pictures of just signs.

Here's the crew I recruited to do this with me.  They are my scrappin' crew since that's where we're going right after the race until the late evening!  From left to right, my sis-in-law Janai, her mama Lucy, me and then Beth.  They signed up for the walk and did great!  I'm so happy that they came out to do this with me!
We bumped into Tara who ran it with me!  Then along the way we bumped into Liz and her hubby.  Surprised we ran into everyone without really calling or having a meeting place.  Amazing since I think there were over 4,000 people out for this race!  Well it was awesome since I got to run with Tara and Liz the whole way!  We did great!  We all finished right next to each other with a time of 31:01.2 which averages out to a 10 minute mile!  So proud of us!  Can't wait for the next one!  Now off to scrapbooking we go!
