Space Walk of Fame 8K today...




Had an 8K today...it was HOT!!!! The first 3 miles or so were okay, but it seemed that the sun was beating down on us the last couple miles! Oh well...got through it. My goal was to be under 36 minutes...ended up running 36:06! Pretty close but I don't call it mission accomplished- should have run 7 seconds faster! If I would not have gotten that side cramp around mile 2 I probably would have made my goal time. I was 1st in my age group. My next race was going to be on the 26th...but I think I found another one here in town to run on the 19th...so unless I talk myself out of it I will be running a race all 4 weekends this month and the first 2 weekends next month- 6 races in 6 weeks- call me crazy, but I LOVE it!


Noah ran his 1/4 mile race...he turned around just shy of the turnaround- pretty good for a 2 1/2 year old! He was very proud of himself as usual. This was the last race of this seasons Youth Series races- and next month at the awards banquet he will get a special award! YAY!

FINALLY getting faster!




Okay, so my hard work is finally paying off. I have been eating better, getting some good runs in and getting more rest at night- makes a big difference, let me tell you! Today I had a 5K, my 7th race of the season. The men and women ran separately so that was fun. I was 1st in my age group and 11th female overall...but the best thing about today is my time--It was 21:35! Over 20 seconds faster than the last 5K I ran at the end of January! I am finally pleased with my time for a change! I have an 8K next weekend- hoping to run under 36:00- we'll see...


Noah ran his race today and got his little prizes- he had a blast!
