Taylore and I ran in a 5k for the first time this past weekend. It was a local festival that has been going on in Mansfield for a lot of years...it always starts with a 5k race.
I started running back in January and have considered doing races...but I never really looked into it. My next door neighbor told me about this one and I decided to do it...when I was talking about it with Aaron one day Taylore overheard and asked if she could do it with me. We spent a couple of weeks trying to get Taylore ready for the race...she did awesome! Two days before the race she got up to 3.1 miles (which is a 5k) without stopping...not only that...but we sprinted out the last .10 of a mile and she left me in her dust! It was lots of fun doing this with her...I look forward to many more. I am signing up for a 10k in two weeks! I hope to do the Texas Half (half marathon) on January 30th...and eventually a marathon! I never imagined I would love running as much as I do...especially because once upon a time I DESPISED running! (Then I learned how many calories you can burn running!!) Running became my friend!!!!
Anyway...Taylore and I had a ton of fun...we crossed the finish line at 28:30...pretty good for our first race!!! Way to go Taylore!
Waiting for the race to start...
