Happy 4th of July to you all! I hope you are all enjoying the holiday.
I started this morning off with a fun local 10K (6.2 mile) race with Kev, my sister Holly and a bunch of our friends. I really love running races on the 4th of July and Thanksgiving. They are my favs.
However, I was a little worried about this race. First off, our June was super duper crazy, so I really haven’t been running much. I think I ran 2-3 times in the past 3 weeks! AND, I ran 4 1/2 miles this past Monday and felt so yucky. It just was not a good run for me.
Soooo, I was worried about bonking on this race. 🙁 Even though it was just a 10K, I was still a little nervous.
But, I did just fine. I love races! There is such a fun energy and excitement there. It’s great. I finished in 52:20 and felt okay about that. I really wanted to be under 50 minutes, but considering my life as of late I was just fine with my time. I came in 18th place (out of 124) for the women (woop-de-do.) My sister came in 11th. It was fun.
Well we are now getting ready to take the kids out to see fireworks! Fun! I love fireworks and I love this time of year.
Our city puts on a great show and we’ve found a great spot to watch them. It’s a small little undiscovered spot of grass next to Taco Bell. We order Taco Bell for dinner and sit and watch the Fireworks. It’s become a fun “redneck” tradition for our little family.
Well…..happy 4th y’all! Have fun and be safe!!
Good Job on the race!! Love the pictures, too. You look fabulous!! Very lean!! Keep up the good work! ~
Thanks Jeanne! You’re very sweet. 😉
