David had a great achievement over the weekend: he completed his first Mini-Marathon! The 500 Festival Mini-Marathon is the largest half-marathon in the country, having sold out with 35,000 participants for the past 11 years. This year marked the 36th running of the race, and David was right there in the mix. We're so proud of him for sticking to his committment to do the race despite some setbacks with a sore knee, and for crossing that finish line after a muggy, long, and exhausting 13.1 miles. Way to go, David!!
In other news, I renewed my committment to my health by starting a new running regimen. We bought a treadmill for the basement so I can work out while watching Ford, if necessary. As a way to motivate myself and stick to the program, I signed up for my very first 5K. Eeeeek! Day 1 of my program started yesterday, and it felt pretty good to be working out again after a loooooong hiatus. I'm hoping to get back to my pre-Ford body, but more than anything I just want to be healthier and more fit. After all, I need to be fit enough to chase around a toddler soon! :)

ReplyDeleteWay to go David, I heard it was really hot at the race. Glad you made it. Good job FORD looks like you were the winner, love your hat and number!!!! Dana I'm sure you will have a partner running with you as soon as he figures out how to get on there (Chase) I love the last photo of him checking it out.
