Earth Day 5K Fun Run

So, my mom says that the term "fun run" is an oxymoron, but I really did have a good time! I even got a free t-shirt out of it, what more could you want? My friends Amy and Brooke, who are hard-core runners, told me about the Earth Day 5K at Forest Hills Park, and since I am training with my sister Shelby to run a 12K in June, I thought this would be very appropriate. Even though it was pretty cold outside, it didn't rain, so that was a plus.Here are Jeanie, me, Brooke, Fiona, and Amy before the race started. Amy and Brooke totally kicked our little patooties, but I was so proud of my time of 29.40! That's the fastest 5K I have ever ran. I must say, I have to thank Tony Horton and P90X (or rather P60X), for getting my legs into great shape!

My wonderful hubby and kiddies came to watch me and cheer me on. Dean picked flowers the whole time and had fun running through the flags that were at the end of the race while they waited for me.

And here is a very unflattering picture of me approaching the finish line! It was so fun to see my family at the end cheering me on, and Dean running up to me yelling my name. Thanks for the support Jonny, I love you!
