Girls on the Run 2014

Girls on the Run was last Saturday, my second run in May 2014.  We all met as a team and started together.

This run is the only one I know where the majority of the participants wear the race shirt, it always looks so cool when you see a sea of color.

Maggie did not do very well this year, she just would not run at all not matter what I did to encourage her.  I tried everything, but nothing worked.  She walked, she cried, she whined.  I eventually left her when we saw the finish line and took this picture of her crossing about a minute after me

After making out she was dying and a bunch of melodrama, she immediately turned around and was fine.  She wasn't even breathing that hard.  She is so frustrating sometimes!!!  Still, we made it and I will keep on trying to get her to exercise whenever I can

Whole Life Challenge, Round 3

Started this on Saturday, I have a long way to go!!!!

May 2014 Run for Sight

Molly works in the ophthalmology department at SLU and asked me if I wanted to do the Run for Sight 5K.  Maggie and I are doing GOTR next Saturday, but this was for a good cause, so I did it with Anne and Molly this past Sunday.  It was a great day for a run....

We asked someone to take an after picture by one of the St. Louis 250 cakes, nice finger shot in the corner!!!!

Pretty hopeless time, but we did it!!!

Go! St. Louis 2014-My April run

My March race is done.....

I ran the 5 mile St Patrick's Day Parade race in 52:10 today.  I had to walk some of it, but still did much better than I thought I would.  I was aiming to do under an hour and I easily made it.  Most surprising was that I did it at my usual 5K pace.  I had to walk some of it, but I felt great the whole time, so I am very happy.  Before and after pictures show how happy we were.  Perfect weather for a race.

This looks like something I should try.....
