The Big Race
My friend Amanda and I have been saying that we wanted to run a 5k for quite some time now and we finally did it! Saturday morning we ran the "Miles for Melanoma 5K" at Lion's Park. It was so much fun! I was really nervous watching all of the real runners warming up and listening to them talk, but then they blew the horn and I relaxed and really enjoyed my run. We both exceeded our goals, mine being 1) to be able to run the whole race without walking and 2) to come in under 30 mins, although I didn't have high hopes for this one. My finishing time was 28:04 and I came in 6th out of 18 in our age group. My amazing friend Amanda finished with a time of 23:41 and came in first in our age division. Go, Amanda, Go!

Wow, I am super proud of you. Last night I made some time to go run since I need to loose this baby weight and then some, as soon as I started running I felt so free from children. It was so nice. Wow, running 5 miles is hard for me to imagine at this moment. Just running for 20 min is good for me right now. Maybe someday I will get there:)
Wow. Nice job. Ran one with Cyndi at the Zoo a few years ago and had to walk a few times, so you're better than me.
Woo Hoo! Way to go Aubrey. When you want to train for a half marathon, let me know and I will fly out. :o)
Sheesh girl! Way to go! I'm proud of you! I wish i could say i enjoyed running but i don't at all. Maybe some day! I do enjoy speed walking though and relate to the "free of children" comment above. It's a nice moment. I go with my kids most often though. Josh even runs with me sometimes. I need to be more like him!
