My first race!

I actually got up the motivation to start running again! Maybe because Landon started, and I couldn't let him beat me!! (Ok, he always beats me, but at least I had to try.) I started out with the 5K this past weekend for Smithfield Health Days. Landon ran the 10K. Way to go! It was a lot of fun, however, it was FREEZING!! I don't enjoy running in the cold and it definitely took about 1.5 miles to get warmed up. Overall, I had a blast and I can't wait until the next race. My long-term goal I am setting is the half marathon in August. We'll see if I make it!!

Way to go. I'm sure you beat my last time by a longshot. And good luck training for your half in August!

Darci - running a half marathon in the August heat - are you nuts? Actually, I'm in awe of your determination. Good luck.

Way to go Darc! There is nothing like crossing the finish line of a race...best feeling in the world! We'll have to hook up for a race sometime!

Look at you, all motivated. I'm pretty motivated to NOT run. I count walking to the park as exercise because I sweat a lot in the heat. ;)
Keep up the good work!

You ROCK! Way to go, you two!

Good for you! It's addicting, isn't it? I'm signed up for my first marathon in October. I'm doing a 1/2 in a couple of weeks. Wanna come do it with me? We need to get together.
