Wednesday's Word

Just a little note to say I have NOT FORGOTTEN Wednesday's Word this week! I've been sick and super busy with our last Younglife Club of the year. I have been working on it, and I'll be bringing Wednesday's Word on Friday this week! :) Have a great day!

Frederick Running Festival-2011

We did it! Stewart, Elizabeth and I all met our goals!

Stewart finished 5 minutes under 2 hours.

Elizabeth finished! (in 2:23! I'm proud of her time!)

And, I didn't really have a goal, but finished in 2:16. I'm happy with that.

My little racers blew away their competition and had fun in their first race! They're both looking forward to the mile kid's run at the Firecracker 5K this July!
Me after my race and my kids getting pumped up for their race!


Tate sprints to the finish line!

Naomi breezed by, making running look so easy!

And...the half marathoners!

Pre-race Jitters

LAST MINUTE THOUGHT ON MY FIRST HALF MARATHON SINCE 2008:

Circa 7 o'clock this evening: "No problem! I'm just gonna run full steam ahead and KILL myself to beat my last half marathon time! I can do ANYTHING for two hours!"

Naomi at circa 7:15 tonight: "Mommy, is THIS what I'm wearing when I run my 10 mile race tomorrow?" (You heard her correctly, folks. She thinks she's running TEN miles tomorrow)

About 15 minutes ago: "What am I thinking?!! I've only run a total of 13 miles in the last two weeks!"

Do I sound schizophrenic? I'm going to chalk this up to pre-race jitters.
