Girls Trip!!

This past weekend I finally got a chance to take a short 28 hour trip with my friends and leave the kids home with Todd. Big thanks to Todd for watching the kids! Six of my girlfriends and I loaded up in a mini van on Friday and drove down to Columbus, Ohio for the half marathon and 5K races. I was training earlier this year for the half marathon and my nasty injury reared it's ugly head again, so I took many weeks off and decided to run the 5K. Race day was a little chilly and windy but all of us had a great time and did well. It was my slowest 5k time, but I was happy to be running pain free! I have such an amazing group of friends who are so fun, supportive and great to be around. I will miss them dearly when we move!
We thought of and missed all our other running friends who weren't able to come. Now the only question is where to go next year!

I'm so proud of you for doing this race! I have great hopes for your future. Thanks for cheering me on at the end too. You're awesome.

Man, I'm jealous! If that was your slowest 5K time then I probably could've ran with you! How fast were you running? I've been averaging 10-11 minute miles these days....maybe one day I can be a true runner like you!
