Race to Wrigley 2011

Yesterday was the big race, the Race to Wrigley!  This was the 6th annual race and for the past 5 years I had heard Len and Bob talk about the race always thinking it would be fun, but I was never a runner.  Fast forward to a few months ago I decided yes I am a runner and I registered my husband and I for the 2011 Race to Wrigley.

It was an amazing time minus the rain and I am so glad I did it.  Running through the streets of Wrigley and then down thru the concourse of Wrigley Field out from under the Marquee sign it was a blast!  I finished with a time of 30:24, which was about 24 seconds slower than I wanted!

My husband ran the race with me and this was my first time running a timed race with someone.  He could have easily finished in 27 or 28 minutes, but he slowed his pace a bit for me.

I'm ready for the next adventure.  This Saturday is a 3k Easter run and I'm looking to get around a 17 minute time.  I'm just hoping for SUNSHINE!

Just as the race was about to start in the rain!

Tomorrow marks the start of week 7 of the second body for life challenge!

Under the famous Sign :)
