My First {Running} 5K!

Friday & Saturday - March 8-9, 2013

Just like last year, Dad and Brandon attended the Kentucky High School Basketball Tournament.

Dad got to meet Joe B. Hall this year!

Even though Dad's a UofL fan first and foremost, he'll still root for the Cats and meeting Joe B. was fun for him just the same.


The next day, we participated in a 5K race in the Ville.It was a family affair - from left to right:

Mom and I walked the 5K together last year, but I set a goal to run it instead this year.  The training was hard at times, but I did it!!  And I finished the race in just under 38 minutes.

Dad and Brandon ran together too and our moms walked together.

After the race, we had a celebratory lunch at Cracker Barrel.

After eating, the women went flea market shopping.....

.....while Brandon and my Dad watched basketball with their eyes closed.

While at this point (middle of June now), I've lost most of my training and couldn't run a mile very easily, I'm really proud of myself for doing the training necessary and completing the race!  Hoping to do another one some time.
