Lady of the Lourdes 5K

Elijiahs school had a 5k race this morning...I offered to register folks prior to the race so we needed to get to SLC bright and EARLY! We left Elijiah with my Mom and Layne and thought we would take Tristan with us in the jogging stroller. The morning was bright and sunny BUT very COLD!!! I registered hundreds of people and I literally froze and I thought I would die.( I know Im dramatic but really its the truth!!) Well just prior to the race I probably should have tried to warm up a bit but Jonathan and I didnt think we would run much just walk a good chunk of the race.
Well walking wasnt getting me warm so I jogged a bit, and eventually got a bit warmer. However due to the course- it was a bit up and down, and my knee started to really bother me on the way down the last mile. I knew I was in trouble at the end when I couldnt even run, and walking was hurting me. Jonathan finished long before me and all in all it was a fun morning. However I have re-injured my knee, which took almost 2 years to heal from my last running injury all because I got cold before a run. You can say Im a little ticked considering we are coming into spring/summer when its great to be outdoors. GRRRR! Anyway here are a couple photos from the race. Im a bit sad we didnt snap some in the beginning...there were lots of people dressed up in green, wearing hats, beads, some full on decked out in St. Patricks themed outfits...good times!
