Here are the pics of the day.....
It's so neat that my husband and I now both share a running hobby. We have many goals for the future that we want to accomplish TOGETHER!
Here is me and Karlee after the race. We sent our husbands out to the car to get our cameras so we could capture it all on film. We must be scrapbookers, huh??
Funny story.... Just about 2 k's into the race we noticed that there were some runners now running our direction. We totally thought they were the marathon runners who had started 1 1/2 hours before we did. We were cheering for them, screaming, telling them they are AWESOME!! Then we realize that they are the 5K runners!!! At the halfway point you have to turn around and come back!! We were only a little bit behind the people we were cheering on!!! Honestly, when we thought they were the marathon runners our speed picked up, our energy level got higher, and we just were pumped. After we realized that we were in the same race then it was pretty funny. :)
After we were done running we thought it would be fun to go back out on the course and cheer the marathon runners on. Karlee and I were doing cartwheels, "WHOOOOING", and doing kicks for them! Some of the marathon runners loved it and we felt that it also annoyed some. :) It was soooo super fun, though!! I really want to attend marathons just so I can be a cheerleader for them and keep their spirits up. What an amazing accomplishment for them!! We are setting a goal to run a marathon in October 2010. Just 1 year and 5 months away!!!
Here is a pic of Karlee and me with our 3rd place medals. We both placed 3rd place in our age group. Of course they were 10 years apart!!! What a fun day. I am going to miss Karlee sooooo much when she moves in 2 weeks!!!

Looks like fun! Robyn you looks super skinny! Good job!
Maybe in many months from now I'll join you. Ryan has been loving the 5K's and sprint triathalons. NICE WORK!
Good for you. I have no doubt with your enthusiasm and determination you could run a marathon! Congrats!
Robyn, I have been craving running lately and your pictures are making it worse!! I have never craved running until being pregnant with this baby. I look at all the runners passing me as I walk and just long to take off in a sprint but know I would regret it afterwards. Only 13 days left of pregnancy and then I can run like you!!! Thanks for inspiring and motivating me. You look fabulous!
