Race For the CURE!

My friend Marcy asked me to sign up with her for the Susan G. Komen Atlanta Race for the Cure with the rest of our Smokin' Hot Mommas group. I was wary of it because it was a 5 K race (3.2 miles) and I haven't run in ages. We tried running together to prepare, but the weather got in our way and so I wasn't able to get some running in before hand. So today, at 7 am, we all assembled to head to the race. I was really nervous that I would be left alone and end up at the very back. There were approxamately 15,000 plus people there to race and it was crowded! It was a blast though. I started out good with Marcy at my side and then somewhere in the middle Marcy and I got separated and I finished out the whole race in 32 minutes and 30 seconds. I ran the entire thing!! I was so stunned that I had been able to do it and not stop to walk! It was an awesome experience and now Brian and I are thinking of training for another race, a 4 mile one, that is coming up June 20th. It's quite the experience!

Our shirts were awesome too. Kandis, a gal from my ward, designed them and then Karen, another gal from my ward, coined the slogan on the back and it said "See Momma run. See momma run a lot. See momma get SMOKIN' HOT!" It was way cute!
