Happy Friday and Big Cedar Weekend recap

Yay for Friday! And I am off work today and headed to OKC for a girls weekend!

The kids and I enjoyed a beautiful weekend at Big Cedar this past weekend. We did lots of pool hopping, fishing, eating and tons of other stuff. My favorite part of the weekend was Reggie naming me "The Worm Master". He was very impressed that I could put a worm on his hook.

Two weekends in a row and I won plane tickets!!

I signed up for Dash to Splash 5K in Branson MO about a month ago and realized about a week before the race that there was another 5K(Run for a Vet) at the same location soo I signed up for that one too. Both races were for a great cause so why not?!

Run for a Vet 6/13/15 Recap - I registered for this race the morning of. I get registered and take my packet back out to my car to put on my bib etc. Then I notice this card with holes and a bread tie. I had no clue what to do with it so I had to ask a random person in the parking lot on how to put my shoe tag on LOL Yep I am such a newbie at this. Overall I was proud of myself for finishing this race. To me, the course was hard. It had lots of rolling hills that really took a toll on me. But I finished! And I was 4th in my age group. Missed a medal by less than 4 seconds. Chip time:32:47. Pace:10:32

Run for a Vet 5K. 

Dash to Splash 6/20/15 Recap - My goal for this race was to beat my time from last weekend. I knew the course now since I ran it last weekend and I had even made the drive to Branson one morning during the week to get a practice run in. And I did it! My Chip time was 31:06. Pace 10:00. 6th in my age group and 64th(out of 142) place overall. After you crossed the finish line you got to pick a prize off of the prize board. I ended up winning two round trip tickets to one of seven cities that Branson AirExpress flys to!!! I couldn't believe it!!!! 

Dash to Splash fun!!

Still can't believe I won Airline tickets!

Next goal - Run a 5K in under 30 minutes.

I'm a runner?!!?

In March I started running with the local Women Can Run clinic. The clinic was a 10 week program for all ages and abilities to learn how to run or walk for exercise. I joined Beginning Runner Group A -The goal was to train to run/walk up to 3.1 miles and to complete a 5K. Somehow in those short 10 weeks I fell in love. I completed my first 5K on May 9th in Conway AR at the Women Can Run race. I ended up 22 out of 109 in my age group. 10:22/mile. Time 32:08.

Thankful that this leader (Cindy) ran with me the whole race. She really encouraged me to keep going! 

I found my Dad at the finish line!! My Step Mom (Ocie) was running the race too! She did awesome. She finished 7th in her age group. 

Our shirts match the port a potties!! LOL
