Dem and I ran our first 10K Saturday morning at the 29th Annual Grosse Pointe Run. We didn't run it super fast, but we set our pace and were able to maintain pretty well. We actually managed to run the second 5K faster then the first half. I think we were both pleased that we completed it, but probably felt more excited before rather then after the race. It was really nice that Dem's parents were in the area for their high school reunion so they showed up for the final and took some pictures of us during our last mile and change (I don't have the pictures to share though). I do have a few pictures from before the race though.
We walked around the area before the race checking things out...Dem was overwhelmed by how cute everything was (they had water and food for everyone in little red wagons...see picture above).
We walked out to the end of the piers and took the traditional Dem and Brian self-picture. Then we did our stretching out by the lake, got hydrated, and got into our running closes.
Here we are just before we went to the the starting line for the race...we were excited (and nervous).
