Victory! I feel so good, and tired!

Daddy and I prepping before the big 5K Run! Go #46! We Love You!
Our flags we made, if you can't see what they say, the one Jordon is trying to hold, says "My Daddy Is Faster Than Your Daddy" and I'm holding the sign that says, "Go #46, Go Daddy, We Love You".
A few minutes before the race, I think Jordon is watching the racers from the 1 mile Fun Run.
Grandpa and I waiting for Daddy!
Grandma and I!
I want to dig a hole with my flag!
Isn't this so cool guys!
I Love Aunty Megan!
Chris after his race! He dumped the rest of the water all over himself after the run, in Texas these runs should be earlier than 8 am, it was really a warm morning to go running. But Chris did great, he made 3 miles in 28 minutes! Go Chris!
Sure glad to be back with my family after a big race!

Waiting for the parade
This year Jordon didn't get scared by all the loud noise. During the Christmas parade he was quite scared, I guess he's getting used to louder noise.

Definitely can't have a good parade without the puppies!
OUR 4TH OF JULY!
What a thrill to be able to join in a group of people a run for 3 miles. It has been a long time since I've done anything like this, so I feel pumped, energized, and happy to achieve my goal of running faster than a mile in 10 minutes. One small step for a runner, one major milestone for me. I'd like to thank Darlene, Jordon, and everyone out there that gave me all the encouragement and support while I trained.

This morning I woke up and let the dog we were "dog-sitting" have a walk and move my muscles a bit. Then Darlene, a sleepy Jordon, and I went to Stewart's Creek Park for the race. It went far better than I would have hoped. There's just something about running with a bunch of people that helped me run faster than before. Luckily I remembered that I needed to keep going at a steady pace or I'd be a goner by the last mile. I'll get the results later, but I was so glad to see that my time was better then my last runs independently by running around 28 minutes! Here a video we've put together for the Fourth of July weekend, hope you enjoy. Have a safe summer!
jk, no video, we made one and it wouldn't go onto blogger, if anyone has any tips on how to get videos onto blogger let us know, thanks! Hope you enjoyed the pictures! Have a great week!
