Today was the American Red Cross 5K run.
Jeanette ran it in under 30 minutes
Camille pushed an extra 80 pounds while running.
I came in 2nd! I should mention it's in the age group of age 50 - 99 and perhaps I should also mention that the 3rd place winner is recovering from a stroke! I'm not sure, but I think there were only 3 in that age group. Oh yeah, I'm good! Thanks to Jordan for downloading some Metallica, Clutch, Muse, Black-eyed peas, Peter Breinholt and ABBA for me on the ipod! It kept me going! You want to join me at Red Robin for lunch? Not sure I can use all that $7.00 by myself!
Jill didn't run because she volunteered at the race. I was able to wave to her on the course!
This is what we found when we got home! Nothing like a Saturday nap with the cat!
Have a RED letter day, today!
Have a RED letter day, today!
Yay Connie (and girls) good for you! I was wondering this morning how it went. Glad it wasn't snowing today! :)

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that photo of your son and the cat is hysterical.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'd be doing after a run. and still breathing I HOPE
good for you, that sounds like it would be fun, although exhausting. I WALK...albeit fast...but not run. WALK
and $7.00 whooppeee, try not to spend it all in one place.

Great job Connie! You have way more energy than me. I tried the laundry soap and canning meat, I have a couple questions and have misplaced you email address, if you get a second to drop me a line I would appreciate it. Thanks,have a great week!
ReplyDelete2nd place, Yay!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun event, and for such a good cause. How nice that so many of your family members got involved!
I love Red Robin! They have great salads.
Oh rock on! That's so great that you did a 5k and for such a great cause. I'm still working on getting to that point. Under 30 minutes? That's ummm something I may never EVER get to. Go you!

I'm still in pain from that race! (and by the picture, it doesn't even look like I was moving!) actually, that's what I did the whole race . . .
ReplyDeleteCongrats again on the ribbon and gift certificate! I need you as my trainer!
Congratulations Connie, what an inspiration you are to all of us. Hope you enjoy your meal at Red Robbin. I think I would be doing what Jacob was.
ReplyDeleteWay to go yall! Congratulations to you Connie, you rock!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!! But what a funny amount-$7.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! You always inspire me and I hope that I can be as fit and active as you are when I get to be your age.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing it is to be so close to your daughters and to be fit and do things like this together! You are SO blessed. I can't even imagine what it would be like to have a close family like that.
I'm laughing at the photo of your son and the cat AND I have to agree with you that I am enjoying the last little bit of winter for wearing baggy sweaters to hide my few pounds of winter fat I am trying to lose.
Thanks for making me SMILE today! YAY--only two more days until the weekend!
Congratulations! Love the music selections you used.
