Yes I did.
I was in my first race today! In honor of my brother, who is a runner, I ran the Amy Thompson Run to Daylight. It's only a two mile race but its a start right? I figured he couldn't do much competitive running, being over seas fighting a war and all, so I decided to sign up for as many races/runs/walks as possible this summer.
My first of hopefully many runs was today. A benefit run for Amy Thompson and proceeds went to brain injury research. There were two options; an 8k or a 2 mile, I wanted to sign up for the 8K, but Murph reminded me that may be a little too ambitious. Thankfully, I listened to him and went with the 2 mile.
Here I am before the race
I won't being showing you pictures of afterwards unless I get requests for them because they are terrible. I look like a drowned rat!!!!! Spring showers the entire race! (You are gonna have to comment Sarah...Ha!)
I have never raced before so I was new to the Timing Chip (looks like a BC ring to me but what eve?) I thought it was cool.
This picture turned out blurry but it says support our troops. My brosef is a big reason I did this so I thought this was cool on the back of the shirts.
Well, more to come on that - - Wish me luck!
