My first 10k
Way back in January, I signed up to run a 10k on May 12, the day after my 25th birthday. I figured that I could really use the motivation to get in shape and as I'd already done some 5ks, I decided to step it up and go for 6.2 miles rather than 3.1. Let me tell you now: that was not a good idea. I am super out of shape. I hadn't been to the gym in over three weeks and training? Psh. Didn't do it. Add that to the fact that I've gained about 20 pounds since September, I had a cold, and I really didn't want to do it and you'll understand why this race was so freaking hard. Fortunately, two really amazing friends from school decided to run the whole thing with me. They kept me entertained and didn't let me stop running even though I really wanted to.
At the end of the race, I nearly started crying. I couldn't believe that I was able to do that. It was so, so hard, people. That was the longest I've ever run continuously and I still can't believe I did that. Although I know I wouldn't have been able to without those two amazing girls keeping me going. Also, one of them brought her adorable parents along and they photographed the whole thing! So, here's some photos for you:

Awesome job on the run, Danika! So happy for you! I did the 25k, and also experienced a lot of emotions at the finish line. What a feeling! Looking forward to next year. -- Kirsten M
