Spearfish Canyon CASA 5k - Spearfish, SD - July 13, 2013

Yesterday my sister and I ran the Spearfish Canyon CASA 5k in Spearfish, SD


Mandi is all ready to go!


The race started at 7 am and the weather couldn't have been better. Maybe a little breeze.


The race started and ended at the Spearfish City Park.


Not a huge crowd but we had a good time.


Up to three bibs!

My time for the 5k was 39:22 which isn't record breaking by any means. But it gives me a number to beat as I go forward.

On the next!

 My July Stridebox came today and ooooooh baby is it a good one!

June Totals

Totals for June

Weight loss: 6 lbs
Inches lost: .75 (not quite sure about this)
Miles ran: 36.51 (that I remembered to log, it should actually be more. Oops)
Nike Fuel Points: 119,323 (my best month ever!)

It's been a crazy month and I am in the middle of a move so my training has been a bit scattered. Next month won't be much better but August is just around the corner and I have some awesome races coming up. Allonsy!
