our first 5k-we did it!

John and I ran our first 5k this weekend. It was a lot of fun and we both met our time and distance goals. Yes, I ran with the camera...  (did you expect nothing less of my to run w/ my camera take pictures on the go and blog about...i think not!) ...Its to hard to run and take pictures....ok maybe harder then I thought but still fun!
Here are some pictures of our first race!

Looking like real athletes!
