Our first 5K together.....sort of!

Ok, so Brady and I didn't actually run the whole thing...Papa, baby and I ran/walked for about half of the "there and back" alleged Strawberry Days race. I am not a huge fan of races that aren't a loop. When Jonny and Drew passed us we decided to turn around so everyone wasn't waiting for us at the end (especially since we didn't actually have numbers or anything). My personal trainer (Ok, it's just Todd, but he is awesome!!!) has me doing a weights situation, but I am slow getting back into the running. This being in the mid 30's and having a baby is taking its toll..... Anyway, it was weird that the firemen and policemen messed with our longest tradition race. It was still fun to be there all together, but I don't know if the Guns and Hoses race will be one of our standards. I was wondering if any of our community helpers that planned that race have ever run one. If they had, they would never have changed our route with the downhill first mile, they would have known to put mile markers and they definately would have known that we want a banana and some bread or such at the end instead of a donut. They did know to start early before it gets too hot, and luckilyI had time to make it home by 9:00 to race Jillian to her soccer game and then right over to the swim meet. Anyway, here are some pics of the fun times!

That is lame that they changed up the race, and a little strange. You are already looking so great post baby! Perhaps since I have some more free time I will hire Todd as my personal trainer as well, since he comes so highly recommended. Your baby is so big and fat. Will he still eat Penny's hair if we lay them side by side?

Great to see you out on the course... you'll be cruising sooner than later.

It was fun to have you two there! Yes, take it slow times and do your weights situation, and you'll be beating me again in no time.
