On Your Marks...

I'm so proud of my kiddos... we've been going to the community college on thursday nights where about 400 people gather to run a 5k... it's really awesome... dusk is my absolute favorite time to run plus i am also surrounded by all these people that enjoying running... PLUS there is a Kids Run which is one time around the track. My lil runners do so well... even kenzie for being 3 1/2 makes it all the way around. Kienan hasn't quite yet unleashed his potential, but when he feels comfortable, he will ;)

As far as my run... i'm gettin' there. Obviously not in as good of shape as i have been in the past and to indicate the difficulty of the course a mile is uphill in soft sand; nickname: "Suicide Hill." Ya, and i LOVE running hills and it kicks my butt. But i keep going back for more... my first time i didn't even complete the run. My second time was in the vicinity of 38 minutes and i felt horrible. This third time i shaved a minute off my time and felt really good. There are only 2 runs left for the summer series so i will let you know!
