Today I ran a 5K – I know it is no biggie but since the last time I ran in any kind of race I was in junior high school – kind of a big deal to me! My mom had convinced me a few months ago to run in a 5K with her. She was going to run it in San Diego with my sisters and then agreed to fly to Denver to run it with me. There is no way I can let me mom outrun me! I was game – I have been training… okay well I have been thinking about training and so I decided I was going to run. Big brother had heard my mom telling me about her run in San Diego and he wanted to join us too. I wasn’t too sure about how he would handle a 5K but I figured he and I could walk/jog and we would have a fun, it would be a great way to spend his last weekend before school started! Last night I did not sleep well because I think I was a little nervous about the race. I got out of bed early and figured, let’s get this show on the road. Middle brother decided to stay home with daddy and so it was just big brother, little brother came to the race. My mom, a friend of mine, big brother and I were going to race. Little brother was going to cheer with my dad and snap a few pictures for me…
I think we will be doing this race again. It was so much fun – not to mention big brother is a stud! We jogged most of the race, I let him set the pace and he did awesome!
