Bonita 5000

I ran the Bonita 5000 on Saturday. It was a fun race, I haven't "done" a 5k in a long time (I run 3+ miles a LOT, just not for an actual race). I was hoping to come in under 30 minutes so I'm a bit disappointed with my 30:30 time, but it's a jumping of point, right??

About halfway through the race another gal and I were sort of running together, she'd pass me, then I'd pass her, etc, etc and towards the very end I was determined to beat her so I sprinted past her at the finish line and beat her by a mere second! She actually come up to me at the end and thanked me for being motivating and I thanked her for the same, that was pretty cool.

After the 5k there was a 1k fun run for the kids that the boys ran in. They were both a bit nervous, but excited too. I was rather surprised that when it started Sebastian TOOK OFF. I have never seen that boy run so fast! Ethan is usually my quick one, so it was fun to see Sebastian doing so well.

Probably the best "race" photo of me ever taken!


Here are the boys and I before my race started, Ethan is holding up his hand because he hurt it (climbing a fence) before the race started.




I LOVE this picture of Ethan!

Kindergarten Graduation!

Today my son, Sebastian, graduated kindergarten. I remember when he was a teeny tiny four pound baby (he was born seven weeks early) and here he is, almost a first grader. The time just goes by too fast.



I love you little boy!

Half Marathon Personal Record!

I ran the San Diego Rock and Roll Half Marathon yesterday and finished with a new personal record! I shaved about two minutes off my time and finished at 2:34:44. It's not a *great* time, but I'm still proud of it.

I'm running the Disneyland Half in September and am really hoping that I can get my time closer to 2:30.

Here's a pic of me and BM Theresa the morning of the race (before the race obviously, I was a hot, sweaty mess after!).
