Iron Girl

Saturday was my Iron Girl 5k race. I've been looking forward to this race since I was pregnant. I could hardly wait to feel the ground giving way under my feet and the wind through my hair. The cool thing about this race is it's all about empowering and honoring women while trying to raise money and awareness for cancer research. I was even more excited when I discovered that this race would be on Saturday instead of it's usual Sunday .
There was so much excitement in the air as 3,000 women gathered together to run/walk either the 5k or 10k .Our race started at the race track at Del Mar Fair Ground (for those who don't know. We have horse races there.) We ran down near the beach and finished at the finish line at the race track. I wouldn't say it was the easiest race I've run, but it was the most rewarding and surreal. I kept smiling and pinching myself saying "is this real? I can't believe I'm finally doing this!" My favorite part was not the flowers or medal I received (all finishers received this), but was having Matt and Luke there cheering me on. Perfection!
(Sorry there's no pictures. The camera died so we weren't able to get any.)
