Wichita River Run

This past weekend- 3 of my family of 4 ran a race at the Wichita River Run!

There was even a couple Flash Mobs (Freeze Flash Mobs)


Aviation Church Freeze Flash Mob.
 I started the morning off with a 10K. My watch decided to stop some way thru... so I am guessing a time of 1:15 ish. IT WAS HOT AND STEAMY AT 7:30 am!!!

The Hubby did the 2 mile, and limped his 2-time post surgery knee across at 30-31 minutes. YEA HUBBY!! He even made it in the newspaper!!!


The Hubby is the big guy in white cutoff just to the right of center.


If you have a keen eye, Hubby is 7 rows back right of center.


Can you see Hubby here?! LOL!!

BigGirl did her FIRST race! It was about a half a block long, and no time. But she received 3rd in her heat. ** I have a short video of her race.... if I can figure out how to get it off my phone and onto this.....

She is READY TO RACE BABY!!


LittleMan was a great cheering squad!! And the three of us went home HOT and with little medals.

BigGirl and LittleMan awaiting Daddy to run by!!

Can't wait until we are a running family of 4!!!

SOME DAY... SOME DAY!!!!

10K BOMBED

Ok, so saturday mornings run was not as expected. I ran it with just my sis-n-law and what we thought would be a quick hr, was not.
Mile1- 9:11
Mile2 (just short) 9:25
Mile3-6 stopped timing. My chest started tightening up, due the the nice fast (too fast for me) mile plus we did. So the remainder was a stop and go until we were home again. We finished it somewhere in the 1:20 range. HORRIBLE!!!

We were about 1/2 mile from home and reliezed that I did NOT have my inhaler (still trying to get used to having it around) and that neither of us were carrying a cellphone! Nice.

We did however get to chat a lot and that is something that I cherish having with my sis-n-law. We are a lot alike in our thoughts most days. It is really refreshing and fun! ;o)

SO, the goal for me this week is to TRY AGAIN! With music, in town maybe (instead of my country route), with my inhaler and maybe a phone in my butt pocket. So, I will update you later with HOPEFULLY a goal met!
