Carson and Mommy
Mommy with her two big kids, Madison did not want to hug me because I was "wet", she continued to smell me to see if I was stinky... LOVE
My friend, Tanya, and I took on the challenge together. I wish I would have been faster and we could have kept up, hopefully for the half marathon we can stick together. It was rewarding to see her standing there clapping and cheering me on for the last bit of the race before the finish line.
I may be the only one looking at the camera, but these are three of the reasons that I want to be healthy and run. I want to be able to be healthy so I can live long to take care of my family.I ran the Cross City Race on Sunday and was happy to finish in less time than I had anticipated. I started out a little weak due to finishing off a big gatorade maybe fifteen minutes before the race. My body does better with water and with room temperature at that. 6.3 miles is a long way to run when you have to use the restroom. I should have gone before the race, but didn't feel the need. There were times I felt like I needed to walk just so I would not pee my pants. I was proud of finishing in 1:08. I anticipated finishing in 1:15. This was a good training race for the Half Marathon coming up next month. I have a month to get prepared and ready for the big 13.1 mile run. It was uplifting to see my husband, inlaws and children waiting for me at the finish line.
