American Fork 5k or Race #2

(yes my face gets that red when I run... so unattractive)
SO this morning was my June race. 7 AM in American Fork, which means I had to wake up at 5:30 AM.
That is insanely early since I didn't fall asleep until around 4 (stupid insomnia.)
I loved this race. The route isn't easy but it was fun. It was nice and cool so perfect to run in. Everybody got a bib (your race number) with a timing chip in it so you didn't have to time yourself. (I did anyways of course) The time posted online for me was 39:48. That is a whole 3.5 minutes faster than my 5k last month AND this course had a HUGE hill. It wasn't very long but it was really steep and slowed me down SO MUCH!
My shins are killing me! It was so hard to push myself through to the end but luckily I caught up with Jaci and we were able to push each other through to the finish, crossing the line exactly together.
I finished 40th in my age group, 254th overall.
Stacey, who was running her first 5k ever, is apparently a master runner and finished in 27:52, 8th in our age group, and 72nd overall. It was amazing!
Julia finished 34:54, 29th in our age group and 192 overall! And the girl just had a baby 4 months ago!!! She even won a prize drawing.
Their food was awesome too. I totally loved it. I might have to make this race an annual thing.
the bad news is, I totally have shin splints... which means no running for at least 3 weeks... There goes my July race!
Definitely not the best but a huge improvement which is what I'm going for.
