Race Day on Vacay

On June 6th I ran a 10K (6.4 miles) race in Troy, Ohio. I decided that signing up for a race ewhile on vacation would be a good way to (somewhat) focus and active while away from home.

This was the first race that I started alone. During the Shamrock Run and The Race for the Roses, Ava and I started together and ran the first few miles. I was a bit lonely as I ran through the start line. A few minutes after I started I felt someone bump me and turned to see Eric jogging beside me. He ran with me for the first 3/4 mile -- in regular clothes, on a humid day! What a great hubby I have!



Her I am making a dash for the finish line. My time was 58:31. I made my goal of finishing in under an hour!


Family friends Leslie Boggs and her brother-in-law, Keith braved the local flash flood warnings to come and cheer me on. Leslie is definately one you would want cheering for you at the finish line -- she wins for most spirited spectator. Thanks guys!
