Bridal Veil Falls 10k

i hate running. i had not run a mile since the good old days of orem jr high when I had to for PE. a year ago, probably while eating some form of liquid cheese, I made a goal to run one 5k a month through the summer. thanks to traci, my motivating mentor, she got me out of bed one early, RAINING morning, and we went for our first run. traci is in amazing shape, and has done like a zillion triathalons...so purely she was just my friend who heard my goal and decided to take my goal and make it happen for me (thanks trace). anyhoo, we ran/walked 1 mile. after several increases in running together, we signed up for my first 5k last may. i ran a total of 5 after that. so once again spring rolls around, and in march I started. well, may was about out of time, i was too busy to make it happen, until little firecracker karen called me with a run she found the very last day in may, the 31st. sheepishly, she quietly mentions she can only find a 10k. i'm sorry, have we met? it's me jill...the little old lady barely coming through the finish line. anyway, with her evil powers, she convinces me (and rob) to do it. i ran the whole way. yes my knee killed at the end, but i ran the whole way. so if you're thinking to yourself "man, this girl is begging for praise", well i guess you're right....cuz i sure as you know what am!!!
