It's about time! It was a long weekend!
It was a FUN weekend too!
First I want to say how proud I am of my little girl!! She ran her first 5k on Saturday in 49 minutes! The first 2 miles-- 20 minutes!!!! She hit the wall after that! She did so much better than I could have guessed-- gutsy little thing she is!! She can't wait to do it again--as long as the weather is warm and she can wear her running outfit without a big coat covering it up!
It was a cold start to the race. The gun went off at 8:20 AM. I went into it with a great attitude. Very little anxiety over my breathing issues, but I knew I had to keep this race more low-key and treat it as a training run. I did just that.
It rained very little, but it would not be the River bank run without rain--it rains every year without fail!
The wind-well that's another story!! The wind gusts were not as bad as predicted, but it had it's moments. I ran with 2 fellow group exercise instructors for just about the whole race. (My girl Mary was out to get a PR--and she did!! Woohooo!! It was awesome.)
We averaged 8:41 ish a mile for the entire race. It felt really good. Did I mention how much fun I had!??! Cuz I really did. That was my main goal for once and I succeeded!!!

Great job Marcia! (And thanks for the sweet text yesterday! XOXO)
I'm glad it was FUN. That's why you do it!
Amara just blows me away. She did such a good job! What a girl!
My boys are running in the Crim Kids Classic on Saturday. Logan's doing the quarter-mile (his third time) and it will be Jordan's first race, the Diaper Dash. It's really short but hilarious. It's for kids 2 and under. :) Can't wait!
