This past Saturday I got to run the super fun Kansas City Temple Run 5k. I love this race for so many reasons. It's just a fun and easy 5k that is a relatively flat course around the Kansas City Temple. But let me tell you, there are some seriously fast fast people who run this race. Like super fast! I got a new PR(personal record for a 5k) at 21:44. That's a 7 minute mile and I still was the third female to cross the finish line and probably 18th or so overall. Those boys can run!! I was so excited at how hard I pushed myself and how good I felt this entire race. Such a huge accomplishment!
I love this race too because they have so much for families and the kids to do. Before the race they had a huge pancake breakfast. The kids loved the yummy food!
This year they had a raffle for all of those who participated in the race. They did right before we ran so I was standing at the starting line and Wayne and the kids had my ticket. It was exciting when they called the first number out and I saw Wayne excitedly running to the announcer. We won and autograph Kansas City Chiefs hat from the head coach, Andy Reed!
Of course while I was running, Wayne was able to meet and get a picture with Andy Reed. He is now a converted Chiefs fan. It will be interesting in our household come football season. Even though I am a diehard Broncos fan and the Chiefs are our biggest rival, I have always liked Coach Andy Reed and he is such a nice guy even in person! Wayne also got to me Jeremy Guthrie from the Kansas City royals too, another super nice guy! So this was a such an awesome experience!! 
With my new PR I got first place in my age group! 
Love that my family loves to come watch me race and cheer me on! They are seriously the best cheerleaders ever! 
And even after my big race they had a fun one for the kids. Sabrina was the only one who wanted to run and she was so excited when she crossed that big finish line and got a medal herself! She loves running with her mom!
now on to my race for June!! :)
