WE RUN QUITO 2010

Last Saturday Oct. 23rd four NILI's and I ran a 10k here in Quito.  The race was organized by NIKE and it was super fun!  The race started at 7pm and we all finished by 8:30ish.  This was my first race ever in my life and it was so fun, well except for the last Kilometer, I was ready to fall over and my legs were yelling at me...WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO US.  But I finished my first 10K run here in Quito which don't forget is almost 10K in altitude in 1 hour and 9 minutes! Pretty good for a first run!  Below are some pictures of us before and after the race...no we didn't get any of us finishing...it was a little crazy at the finish line :)  I'm so ready for another run... :)
