Personal Best

August 2008 Becky ran her first 5k race. Today she ran her second, in an un-official time of 37 min 30 seconds - about a minute faster than last time and a new personal best for her. Way to go Becky!!! Again Ally and I went to watch and cheer her on, and took a park break while mama ran. Ally was a little confused when mama ran by and did not stop to pick her up! But once I told her we would go the park she calmed down. The weather is beautiful today, 50 and sunny - perfect for a race, and I got to hang out with my co-worker Alyssa, because her fiancee Joe ran the race too.

Over 4000 people ran the race. It was a St Patrick's Day race - run every year in conjunction with one in Ireland.

4000 is a lot of people - we were getting worried we would miss Becky.


But there she is - and with Joe right behind her.

Go Becky go!!!

Ally as you can see had fun on another tunnel slide.

The obligatory after the race shots.


Becky did really well. She was relaxed and said she felt great afterwards.



She felt good enough to give Ally her post-race banana!
