This morning I did something that I haven't done in years. I ran in the Fire Department 5K race to benefit the burn center. I was dragging my feet this morning because even though I love to run, I have not ran that far in a long time. I know I know, it's not really that far, but when you haven't ran in years, it is. Angie was my partner during the run. We ran the whole way to the half way mark and then walked a little bit and then we picked up the pace. I was very proud of us. I think we thought we would just walk most of the way. I guess years of chasing after overactive little boys paid off. I came in 15th overall and 6th place in women ages 25-29. I am good with that. Hopefully this will motivate me to start to run again and maybe participate in other races. Or at least get me in better shape. :)
Neal ran with the kids in the one mile. The batteries died in my camera so we only have a few pictures. The kids had a lot of fun and really got into the run. I really need to get my kids some sun glasses. Aren't the shirts great.
There I am at the beginning of the race. Still smiling and able to breath. I am the one waving.
