Today I ran my first race without my stud-of-a-runner hubby. My friend Alyssa and I ran the Colorama 5K Trail Run at Lapham Peak State Park in Delafield. It was a really fun run and would have been much more fun had I trained more... especially for the hills. I was not ready for just how many hills there were. Alyssa finished in 28 minutes (awesome time) and I came in at 35 minutes (not so great) but I didn't throw up!!! I was so proud. It was so much fun for me that Matt brought the kids to cheer me on. I think it was a little hard for him to not be the one running. Although, eventually he did get to run. After the 5K they had a Smokie-Bear Fun Run and he and Lilly did that together. She was so excited about it, she even got a T-shirt. She kept asking when her race was. By the time it came though, I think she was a little tired from all her practicing. Half way through she said "I'm a tired now daddy. Can you carry me for a little bit". By the time she hit the finish line she had a big smile on her face. I think she'll be a runner just like her daddy.
