The Red White and Blue 5k race was in our neighborhood. The High School Cross Country team has put the race on. My mom and I ran this race together. We started off together as usual and then my mom gets a head of me. The course was through our neighborhood and there is this one hill we had to go up and as I was going down the hill and crossing the street I fell. I was able to get up and see if I was hurt, just my pride was hurt ( I was more embarrassed than anything since there were about 4 people behind me). After that I didn't want to fall again so I walked more than I ran. At one point I did see my mom. I finished the race in 45 minutes and some seconds. Then as we were waiting for the trophies/medals they gave out door prizes. I won a gift certificate to Run ON for New Balance merchandise so I will need to go and see if I can find a new pair of running shoes.
Miles for the week: 7.1

Great job on your race! Don't be embarrassed...I have fallen before too. Sometimes your feet just won't cooperate :)
Good job just hanging in there - it does shake your confidence when something like that happens, but I am proud of you for sticking with it and finishing. And it was worth it since you won the certificate - yay!
