The race

The race day was here. We had signed up for it in December and April came quickly. I totally was going to back out of it because I wasn't ready, in shape, didn't have time or whatever other lame excuse I could dream up, but I didn't. I am go glad I went. It was so much fun. I went out the day before and stayed with Nick and Jen. It was so great to see them again. I know I am kinda pathetic because they haven't been gone for long, but we miss them. The girls were so cute and super sweet. When we got up the day of the race this was what the weather looked like. Snow on the car. Not much just enough to make it wet and cold for the 5K. Oh well, no more excuses.



Jen and me before the race.



I don't have a picture of Jen crossing the finish line, probably because she finished before me. She ran the whole time and I am so darn proud of her. She is a great example to me and I am going to run the whole time next time.


After the race--totally worth it!!

Great job! I think I would die if I tried to run a 5K. I rode my bike in one once. Marnie ran in one too years ago. She was always the better runner. Maybe 5K's run in our genes :)
