My Race

I was up early and pumped about our run. The big hill was one I had done before and was a little scared of but I made it almost all the way to the top without stopping. I think I placed 38th overall in a 5K this last Saturday!
There may have been 70 people running the race. It was a fund-raiser race for 3 boys for their college. My friend Jenny found out about it and she was excited and nervous to run her first race so I ran it with her. We ran 3.1 miles in 35 minutes and had a great time. I loved the yummy fruit and pancake breakfast afterwards and the two hours without kids crying or fighting.

That is so awesome Meagan. I think I might sign up for something like that. I have been running everyday and can run a couple miles now without stopping (huge for me). I'm not sure if you watched the olympics marathon but the gold medalist ran it in 2 1/2 hours!!! That's like 5 min miles. I was totally amazed. Wouldn't that be awesome?

Running for you hooray! I love doing races now and then. I figure I could run the same distance the next day and not have to pay anything, but if my $20 goes towards helping something, I'll do it. I ran my 13 miles in 2 hrs 22 minutes, so for me that would not be awesome to run 26 miles at 5 minutes each. That means I would be obsessed with time, eating, running and I choose to not have that life. But I will definitely be excited for them and for anyone who chooses to run because it feels good.

Way to go Mae! It's great you're still running. I REALLY miss it.

How has the chicken pox resolved?
