What a busy, fun-filled first day of May! To start off the day, I ran my first 5k. I know this is small potatoes compared to some of my friends who have run half or even full marathons but for anyone that really knows me and my lack of athleticism and general out-of-shapeness, this was a big accomplishment for me. I even did a little better than I hoped and finished in 35 minutes. I ran probably about 2.6 of the 3.1 mile total. I think I'm going to make it a goal to do 2 a year and hopefully shed some time off with each new one.
So after the 5k, we had a Derby Party to celebrate the Kentucky Derby. We had our family and close friends over and enjoyed Sonny's BBQ, some good cold refreshments, Mint Juleps, and general good conversation. Our one requirement was that everyone wear a Derby hat of some sort and a prize would be rewarded to the best/most creative hat. I was so impressed with the time everyone put into their hats! Thanks everyone for playing along :-)
