For the last two years I have been walking in the March of Dimes March for Babies fundraiser with my good pal Lisa. This year, since Lisa is off having fun in Australia (the nerve!), I enlisted my neighbor Kelly to run it with me! We have been following the Couch to 5K running program for the last few months and it was finally time to put all that training to the test! And when I found out that Pappy had started running back home in Slater, I asked him to come on down and run it with us!
Skip and the kids got there after the race started, so they played around on the grounds in Forest Park until we crossed the finish line.
But WAIT! Here we come up the hill to the finish line! (and seriously - who ends a race on an UPHILL??)
Look! There we are! STILL RUNNING!
Crossing the finish line! The guy with the paddle is scanning our numbers for our "official time." To show what kind of newbies we are to the 5K circuit, we didn't even see what our official time was! Ha! We were somewhere in the 31st minute though!
Catching our breath!
My awesome neighbor Kelly! She is the best workout partner ever!
Yay us!
Yay me! (Logan said I did great, even if I didn't win!)
The kids really scored with the balloon people!
And then rocked out to the Motown band!
What a day!
Love,
Mama
Look at you guys!! Way to go. I'm proud of you. Can't wait for next year so I can get back to being part of the walk again.
