Moonlight Fun Run

Sydney and mom after we finished her 1 mile

Mom and Sydney waiting for the race!

Okay, I must confess, I have always loved running. I have never been very good at it, I attempted to run track in middle school and was placed in the 2 mile run. ( Track runners know that is kind of where you stick all the people who are not very good-I definitely did not win any medals) Even with my failed attempt at track and field I have always wanted to be a runner. S school has a running program that she has been involved in this year. It is called the road runners. They have to compete in 2 runs in the spring and 2 runs in the fall. I never knew there were so many road races around. After signing S up for the one mile in our first road race, I got brave and signed up for the 5K. We took part in the Moonlight Halloween road race last weekend. This was S and my first race ever!! I was quite nervous about the race. My goal after having to run S race with her, was just to finish the 5K, and not be the last person to cross the finish line!! You see mine and S numbers! I must confess I was assigned #13, but my husband, having all the confidence in the world in me, told me I had better let S wear the 13. She didn't know why we were laughing about 13, and Zach told me that I had more of a chance of being carted away in an ambulance that S. She had her youth on her side. I think he thought I needed all the luck I could get. I must admit completing the 3.2 miles without walking was quite a challenge, but I loved it. Okay I must admit, I was certainly not breaking any records, but for a 30 something mom of 3, I did okay! When is the next race?
