5K in Jackson

This weekend, Dan and I ran in our 2nd 5k. It was a benefit race for Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital and it was held in Jackson. So, we got to spend a fun weekend with Nonnie and Papaw! The race was on Saturday morning and was a really big race with lots of things to do for the kiddos too. Will spent most of his morning going between the jumpers and the snacks! :) Dan and I ran a good race and were pleased with our results.
And then, the little boys and I spent a couple of extra days into the week with Nonnie and Papaw as well. We had a great time as always spending the long weekend playing, shopping, eating, you know, all the good stuff! Thanks for having us, Nonnie and Papaw!
Here are some pictures from the race:

the finish...our actual finish time was 30 min. 6 sec., so we shaved about 2 1/2 minutes off of our race in October and ran under 10 minute miles(my personal goal). Yeah!


Running has become such a fun hobby that Dan and I can do together and Dan is sweet enough to run right beside me the whole time when he could certainly run circles around me if he tried. ;) We both enjoy getting some physical activity as well as giving ourselves goals to reach. I know that I will probably never win a race or even an age group for that matter, but I enjoy our new found sport nonetheless.
