Our 5K date

April and I had a hot date on Saturday! April complained (jokingly) that I left her during the race though! We ran a 5K in Copperas Cove, Texas. The course was challenging with a big long hill. We both did great. April had been training since February and this was her second 5K this season. She ran the course in 30:57 and I ran it in 26:09. She got 7th in her age group and I got 6th. The race had about 600 people that ran it. We are now looking for more races for this summer and are excited to be doing this together. Now that the track season is over I am excited to have more time to train and hope to drop my time significantly. April is working to get her time under 30 minutes. She will get there. I am so proud of her doing this and wish that I would work as hard as she is. It is crazy that I complain about not having time to train but she is managing to get in her training while being such a good mom to Reagan and Benson in addition to taking care of our home and of course the biggest kid, ME!!

  2. Great job April (and Abe). I'm impressed! Maybe after this baby is born I can start trying 5ks again...I don't want to be the only Ashby who is not a runner!

  3. Marie - you will not be the only Ashby to not be a runner. Ben & I. However I did do a 5k (walk) Saturday.

    We are proud of both of you. (o:
