I've recruited a new running buddy...Cassidy! She didn't want to at first because she didn't think she'd "win", but after I convinced her that winning wasn't about being first, it was about finishing she was ready to go. She completed her first "Fun Run", a 1 mile Turkey Trot course that even had hills! She did great, never stopping and only walking a little. Her time was 12:37 and I was so proud of her, and we weren't last!
After Cass's run there was a 5k for the grown-ups. It was awesome having Casssidy, Chad and the twins on course to cheer me on, especially after the 3rd time facing that "wonderful" hill!
My other crazy running buddy Kate, who also did double duty with her kids...She's great to keep me going!
She got a little better time, but I finished with a respectable 32:30, under an eleven minute mile. Not fast, but like I told Cassidy, it's just about finishing the race. Oh yeah, and having a little fun!
