Five Kahne

My friends Ashley and Andrea

asked me to run

in the annual Five Kahne.

Ashley's husband, Ryan

is Kasey's personal trainer.

He led everyone in a stretch

and then ran with Kasey.

It was neat to see Ryan "at work".

Matt & Sara came with to cheer.

Andrea had a PB and was a top finisher!

Ashley and I... had a good time.

I met Kasey's mom, Tammy.

She has a name I will remember.

I wanted to finish in under 30

and I did!

No PB but not bad for a mom.

It was a fun day and a fun run.

I'm looking forward to it next year.

Thanks for getting me to sign up, Ashley!

Watercade

 

 

We were so excited

to be in town for Watercade

that Mommy decided

to do something silly...

 

I ran Lake Ripley!

 

 

I don't remember the last time

I was able to run all the way

around the lake.

(4 miles)

 

It was definitely before Sara.

 

I signed up three weeks prior

hoping it would be motivation

for me to start running.

 

I began running in Hudson

but only made it 2 miles

before tuckering out.

 

My cousin was supposed to run.

She was smart and ditched

at the last minute.

She asked her husband to run instead.

 

He was a perfect partner!

We stayed at 10 mph

and finished strong

in 41:50 minutes GPS time!
(Gun time shows longer).

 

No walking.

 

After the run,

Nana and Sara drove into town

and we did the walk.

It was raining once we finished

so we went out for lunch.

 

After an afternoon nap,

we drove in and visited with Ami & E!

We stopped by Sadie's to see Jude.

Then we watched the entire parade.

 

Sara loved seeing "neigh horseys"

and "woof woof puppies".

She also enjoyed the big tractors!
