YES!!!

Pictures soon to follow, but I couldn't wait to post this for our faithful reader(s?) - we did it! The 5K was more difficult than what we had done before in training, and it took us close to 40 minutes to complete. But despite hills and altitude and a very early morning, we ran the whole way! For the first 1.5-2 miles, we were apace with the "sporadic runners" - those who would run a ways at a pace too fast for them (and thus pass us), and then have to stop and walk (thus allowing us to pass them). Finally, though, we got by them and finished with other runners. The scenery was GORGEOUS (as you'll see when we get home to post the photos) and the weather was perfect, if a tad on the chilly side. Can't wait until next year!
