Wow what a race! First off, we thought we would fight traffic and ride
trax. Well three trains go by and we cant get on! We finally smooshed in up by the driver and the wheelchairs. Some sweet grandma help Loren in her lap so that I wouldn't fall over. Natalie got to watch over the drivers shoulder and see where we were going. There was so many people there it was great. I was able to find Hildivinsi from the running blog and we ran together since we are about the same pace. It took us about 5-6 minutes to pass the start line and then it was just crowds of people. I actually felt so fast today, because I was passing people right, and left, and zig zag, and over here and there and they were everywhere. I am really happy with my time especially since I was dodging the whole time. According to the GPS it was 3.16, I wouldn't doubt it because of all the back and forth between people we did. After the race we enjoyed the refreshments and the kids corner. They had a pool full of ducks the kids could catch and get some really great prizes. Loren skipped the net part and reached for a duck and went right into the pool. Oh man I laughed so hard! I wonder if people realized that it was my kid........hmmmm. Natalie got a poodle purse, and Loren a dinosaur coloring book. Overall it was a great day and I am impressed by so many people who came out for a great cause. The weight thing went okay this week, total so far = -7lbs
