Last minute race--5k PR!

Up in Mt. Vernon visiting my seester and fam! Found a 5k going on this morning here in town--all proceeds go towards a local charity fighting hunger.

Christa decided to join in, too. So she and I, Mom, and Jaxon all loaded up in the car this morning and made our way to the start line!

Great morning for a race! Warm weather, but not too hot. Christa decided she was going to keep up with me as long as she could (never thought I'd be able to say that!). She ran a GREAT race. We were together for the first 1/2 mile until her shoe came untied and she had to stop to fix it.

Happy to report a PR of 26:34! (8:33 mile pace). Christa finished her first ever 5k in 28:33! Awesome! She placed first in her age division. I placed 3rd in mine. It was a small race, but still fun to "medal" in a race. (Okay, it was a ribbon and a t-shirt, but still fun!)

Blueberry pancake breakfast to follow, then we hit up the Farmer's Market. My nephew is hilarious!

10 mile long run tomorrow. I'm tired this afternoon. This week had a couple of speed sessions and great yoga classes. Probably will wait until evening for the long run.
