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!
