This weekend was an awesome family race. I entered the 10K, Hannah and Jay did the 5K. We all placed and won medals! I couldn't believe Jamison ran the 5K in 26 minutes, and placed first for his age division. Hannah got 3rd for her age division. I had a great race and placed 2nd for my age division. The woman in first place was the high school cross-country coach and she was fast, really fast. I wanted to have a good race to make up for the tough time I had running with an injury for the half-marathon. I wanted to do 8:30 minute miles, but I averaged 8:06 minute miles for 5 miles. To some it may be slow, but I was really happy. My running buddies all did well too. What I won't tell you is that I got the 2nd place ribbon because there were probably less than ten ladies in my age division. You've gotta love small towns sometimes. You've got a chance to feel like a winner once in a while!

Totally awesome. Good job everyone! My exercise consists of ....hmm nothing right now except getting out of bed.
Way to go, all of you! What an accomplishment.
You are all amazing! I would get smoked by all of you I am sure!! Especially Jamison! I am working hard so hopefully soon I could run a 8 minute mile. All three of you inspire me to be a better runner. Now if only you could inspire Brad to run at all.
fabulous!!!! is a mini triathlon next??
Very impressive! Way to Go!
Ashley thanks for leaving a comment. Triathlons are fun, but I don't think I could ever run a half marathon. I like the tri's because it switches things up for me. I never even swam until this year so it is possible to do and not be a swimmer. I am hoping to start training for some more next summer after I have a baby in February. It was fun to see your family. Good luck in your racing!
