5K Saturday: Running for "Los Ninos In Nicaragua"


Yay! My first 5K! Doesn't it feel awesome when you can add another accomplishment to your belt? Today was a wonderful run for a great cause. Edwin & I ran for the kids from his orphanage in Nicaragua. What an empowering experience and I'm so happy to be apart of it and give my support to him and all of the people that helped out. 

The most important part was running for Los Ninos, but it felt amazing to reach another goal of mine and even Edwin's. We finished 3.22 in 30 minutes & 17 seconds. I don't really remember the exact time because I was too excited to cross the line. Everyone did so good! It's always so wonderful to feel the support of everyone around you even if they aren't joining the race.
 We both won a beautiful award made in Nicaragua. I got 2nd place in my age group and Edwin got 3rd. We are so proud of each other and everyone else who won awards. You all were so positive and so inspiring. 



















After the race it was time for some fuel. They had bananas, hot chocolate, energy bars, and even Krispy Kreme donuts! (Yes, I had one).
I'm going to fix lunch, I'm starving! I'm thinking eggs in a muffin; I'll post the recipe later.
