Bronze Medal Winner

What a new post? How can this be?

This morning Steph and I ran in the Fall Frenzy 5K run that she helped setup. This was the first year of this run. I think they did a great job setting up this race, and it was sooooo cheap to enter. $7 entry fee and you get a t-shirt, now that's a bargain. We are actually trying to run in a few 5K's before Thanksgiving, to help prepare us for the Turkey Trot this year. Pam, Mom, and Katie walked in todays race taking turns pushing Peyton in the stroller. Katie and Peyton also participated in the kids Acorn Dash event. They were so cute, I wish we had our camera with us.

The last race we ran was about 3 weeks ago. I ran a 6:50 minute first mile(10 seconds behind Steph), then it was all downhill in that race with a final time of 28 minutes. Today we paced ourselves and ran the first two miles in 7:30 each. Then I slowed down some on the last mile, and I ended up with a 23:49. I was still hurting on the last mile, but I did alot better than the last race. I didn't have to walk any this time.

At the awards ceremony, Steph came away with a 2nd place in her age group, and I pulled out a 3rd place in my age group. Yaaaayyyy! That made it well worth the little bit of training Max and I, and Steph and I put in before this race. I'm going to keep running Max at least once a week from now on, he loves pulling me along. Maybe Steph and I can try to keep running together once a week too.

Tune in next month to see what I post about then. haha. I'm really going to try and post more. I'm replacing a camshaft position sensor and wiper blades on Pam's car tomorrow. I'll see if I can get pictures of that and make another post. :)
