Adam and Daniel joined me this morning in the annual Chuy's 5K in Austin.
And, when I say "morning", I mean morning. These runners are early risers. We had to leave while it was still dark and were back home before the kids had even finished breakfast.
The boys finished at least 5 minutes before me because it took me 33 minutes, but I was just proud of myself for not quitting. I ran the entire race with having to walk a bit.
Go me! The truth is that the were a mass of thousands of runners and walkers. An older man (late 50s or 60s) was running in front of me. The back of his shirt said he was a cancer survivor. I promised myself that I would at least keep him in view, and he never quit running so I never quit running. Ha!
I had a blast today in my first race and can't wait for tomorrow's run!
