One Week Ago Today
I luckily picked up a new card reader yesterday so I am really happy that I get to share pictures with ya’ll again! Thanks for the great suggestion to get a card reader instead of a cord – much easier!
Anyway, I’m a week behind but I figured it’s better late than never to share with you the details of our Mother’s Day 5K (Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure) and our Mother’s Day Family Cookout!
Here’s the start of the race…
Here’s us getting ready – we were both a bit nervous due to the whole lack of running/working out the entire week before. Seriously, I didn’t get to work out AT ALL the entire week before the run due to my business trip, but I must say I think it helped me b/c I was really motivated (a little nervous too) and didn’t feel overtrained/overworked…
A few minutes before the start…
We finished! We ran pretty much the entire time, but I did have to stop three times to take a few walk breaks because I felt like my lung was going to pop out 
… I was purely motivated by Bill along with all the other participants… It was a nice trail too with plenty of “cheerleaders” and volunteers along the way, so that helped a lot! We wound up finishing at 34 minutes, 11 seconds but it probably would have been a little sooner since there was a backlog of people crossing the line turning in their runner number stub I was really happy with our time and just the fact that we finished was a HUGE accomplishment for me.
My post race meal consisted of none other than a Philadelphia soft pretzel!
Here’s some scenic pictures!
Here’s all the goodies we took home!
After our race, we headed home, showered, and prepped for our guests! We had my parents, grandparents, brother over along with Bill’s parents, grandparents, brothers, sister/husband/niece! It was a LOT of fun… We had a lot of yummy appetizers and dessert, but the best part was the grilled burgers and hot dogs cooked by grillmaster Bill hehe… he definitely got a lot of use out of our new grill!
I hope you enjoyed this long and late recap and hope you had a great Sunday! We had my friend Kelly’s bridal shower today (she was my maid of honor) so it was a very busy, exciting, fun, and exhausting day, so I am ready to collapse! Good night
Now I’m off to collapse…
Gorgeous pics! The race looks like fun. I’ve always wanted to do it. I especially love your pretzel!
The race looks like so much fun! And for such a good cause
Your BBQ is also looking mighty fine!! Reminds me of SUMMER!

CONGRATS! That looks like a fun race. The Race for the Cure was my first (and…only?) 5k too, back in November. Now are you going to go out and do a few more races??

I was there that day too!!! Although I did the 5K walk, not the run…. maybe next year! What a beautiful and emotional day. I go every year. And I’ll continue to go until WE FIND A CURE!!! Maybe we’ll meet up at next year’s!
