This was our before shot at the St. Patrick's Day Race in Bay City. Can you say cccccccold???It was chilly, to say the least. I know that you're giggling at the hat, BUT, I was able to tie it at the bottom, and my ears were nice and toasty. My friend Bridget and I ran the 5K race and only walked for a short while to drink some water and for Bridget to blow the runniest nose ever!
Sorry, you'll have to turn your head to look at my most wonderful picture ever! My hair was matted to my head I was sweating so much. Luckily, the hat stayed on. I even wore my Boston Marathon jacket from last year's jaunt to cheer on Rod but that didn't do much for my overall time. I ran the race in 37 minutes and 53 seconds which is terrible but I'll take it! I will get a little more focused on my training and pick a much warmer day to run.
Somehow, Bridget managed to have a better hairdo after the race! All in all, not too bad for my first race back. The Dow has a run on June 6th...anyone interested?In other racing news...Kaleb and Trevor ran on Saturday for the 1/2 mile Leprechaun run and both finished with decent times. Kaleb ran a 4 minute 7 second half mile and Trevor ran a 5 minute 20 second half mile. Trevor's time just happens to be his birth date. The kids runs are the best because the kids run a short race and for $5, they get to race, get a t-shirt and a medal with refreshments afterwards.
