    Did the Riverton 10k today. I was pleased that my daughter came along to do the fun run. This was after a week long of hearing her protesting and saying, "I don't do land sports". She finally came around. I hope she had enough fun to want to do another fun run. I'm now working on trying to convince my teenage son to do the Des News 10k. There were a lot more people doing the 10k than I thought there would be. It made me a little nervous. I was happy to get a txt message of encouragement from Quiet Pirate, right as I got to the starting line. RAD was my running buddy for the morning. She was nice to slow down enough to run with me. I appreciated the company and she talked so much, the time passed quickly. In the midst of all the chattering, I did hear her share some good gems of advice. A lot of talking, a lot of laughing, and thank goodness, no crying along the way. :) I sprinted the last bit and was happy that my time was 2 minutes faster than my Des News 10k time last year. When I told my kids I placed 98th, they laughed at me and joked, "how many people were running, 99"? A fun morning. Went home and ended up doing a couple hours of yard work in the hot sun. That sucked. I'm looking forward to the Des News 10k. Not going to do any yardwork after I finish that run, just relax, have fun...and eat yummy food.

    You did a great job. I'm glad you didn't cry :) Even though it was painful to have to listen to me for an hour, you held back the tears!

    I'm glad the little ones decided to run too. Certainly seems like they had a good time. I had a wonderful morning too, can't wait to do it again in a few weeks!

    Oh, and you can let the kids know there were 131 female runners! 25% of the runners were behind us. Little stinkers!

    Congratulations on the PR! I bet you beat your recent Riverton 10K time at DesNews this year, even if I have to chase you with a wooden spoon and a fly swatter.

    Ok, I figured out how to a race report.

    RAD- Enjoyed every minute of it, thanks for running with me. Maybe we can fit a good cry into the next run.

    CIC- I might run faster if you ran ahead of me with chocolates, Godiva chocolates.
