Potter Run!

 As soon as I heard about this race I knew I wanted to do it! Harry Potter + Running = Awesome! Riley was also really excited about the race. We have been running together for a while now and so she was really looking forward to doing another 5k.

The race was ok, but it was really cold! Riley had a hard time running because of how cold she was. She ran a lap with me, decided to join the rest of the family on the sidelines. It was fun seeing everyone dressed up, but hopefully next year the race organizer will pick a different location for the race. It was at Veteran's Memorial Park, but we basically just ran 5 laps around the park! It was still fun to get out and run! The kids were cold, but once the sun came up it wasn't too bad. They had a good time playing on the "castle playground" for a while, and then we took some pictures with Dumbledore, Harry Potter, and Snape.

 My cute cheering section! I loved having the whole family there!

Riley and me running our first lap...it was cold!

Mischief Managed! I hope that we will be able to run may more races together. I love my sweet girl!

Thankful 13 Half Marathon!!

So, I just registered for my very first half marathon!! Ahhh!! I'm scared, haha! It it the Thankful 13 Half Marathon and it will be on Thanksgiving day.
I hope I can do it...the farthest I've ever ran is 6.5 miles!

I'm excited and nervous, but I think it will be awesome!!

Getting Back Into It!!

Yesterday I did TurboFire for the first time since breaking my ankle in June! It felt pretty good, but I can tell I'm out of shape! I was getting a little out of breath during the warm up, haha :)

I also charged my Garmin and I went for a run this morning.  This was my first run since I broke my ankle. It was good to have Riley run with me. We stopped when we needed to and just had fun! My ankle felt stiff and a little weak, but it didn't hurt. I'm looking forward to getting back into running shape and hopefully there will be no more injuries!

Dirty Dash!!

The Dirty Dash was so much fun! The only bad thing was that I broke my ankle 5 miles into the race. Boo! I was so mad at myself! I was able to finish the race...I climbed up the cargo nets, went down the giant slip n slide, and made my way through the mud pits. It probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, but I wanted to finish! After we were done I knew that my injury was pretty bad. The next day I found out my ankle was broken and I had to go in and get a boot to wear for 4 weeks. It could have been worse, but I'm just mad I can't run or work out for 12 weeks! Oh, well. At least I was having fun when I got hurt....and I'm still planning on signing up for next year's Dirty Dash!! It is so much fun!!
