Personal:

 I have been a runner off and on since I was a kid.  Its something I have always loved and hope to be running until I'm just too old to do it anymore.  I enjoy running some 5ks and halfs each year and try to be consistent with my training.  But I often find it challenging with three kids to get all the miles in that I want to.

I love my kids so much, but running really is my sanity and I enjoy my "me" time.  I may just be forever a "middle of the pack" runner but have hopes of getting faster.

Was thinking how nice it would be to have someone cheer for me at the end of my run as I trudged through tired miles this morning.  Then on the last quarter mile of my route I inadvertently ended up in a 5k course and there were lots of runners and cheering.

The first race I have ran in just over a year.  Was fun to do and got a better time then I thought I would.  Still making a come back from my foot surgery, but was surprised I was able to find a little speed.

Loved the course, mostly downhill and well marked out.  Rotary club did an awesome job putting on this event, I really hope they do it again next year.

I was dreading the cold, but it actually wasn't too bad.  Had a nice run today, got 5 miles under 50 minutes, which was a big breakthrough for me.  Thats the best time I have had since my foot surgery in Jan.

A well done event for a great cause.  It was freezing, but worth it.  The course they chose was fun and interesting.  All the strollers and kids on bikes were a little tricky to navigate through.
