Its been a year

Benson was born a year ago. Our little boy has finally turned one. To celebrate his birthday and to remind myself of how uncomfortable I was a year ago we decided to do our first 10K. We were both pleased with how we ran the race. Abe even earned a medal. He got 3rd place in his age group. I ran it in 61:05. My goal was to do it in under an hour. I didn't quite make the goal but was still pleased with how I did and know that I can do it next time. It was a pretty hilly course. It was also hot and humid outside. We are glad we started running. I never thought that I would become a runner. I still wouldn't actually say I am a runner. It is fun to see how much we are improving with our running. We are thinking about doing a 1/2 marathon now. It won't be anytime soon. Maybe in another year. You never know.

  1. Good Job guys!!!! I am impressed! Running in the heat is not fun, but running in the head and humidity is even worse. Good job!
