Happy Labor Day!

Woke my boys up at 5:20AM. This was no easy task in itself, as we spent yesterday at a pool/BBQ party, and the boys (including this big one), were still tired out.

I haven't run a 5K since May. I've barely run much in the past few months, battling a sore achilles and lack of motivation (I'm not sure which one was worse). Anyways, the Kids' K was fun for the boys. I ran with my youngest (Christian), while his older brother (Ethan) ran off ahead. Christian tried so hard to run the whole thing, but we ended up walking a little. But, when he saw the finish line, he took off and finished with a big 'ole smile! Priceless. I love this race, as all Kids' K finishers receive a trophy (recycled Ft Worth Runners' Club member trophies). The boys love their trophies (Christian hasn't noticed that his says "3rd Place 5K Female", yet...but we won't say anything)

Considering my lack of training lately, I ran a strong 5K -- not much jockying or heroics to mention. Ended up with 21:30, and I took home an event mug for getting 3rd in my AG. (All the fast runners were running the 15K race, which I felt a little guilty about NOT running.

It was a fun family run. We'll be back next year!

Decided to run in the rain w/ Darin at lunch. We found a window in the tropical storm that blew through here to get in 4 easy miles. Very humid.
