Running Buddies

It is Spring and I have been busy with running. I have always done races with Abe and I love running with him but I am way slower than he is and I always felt bad that he had to run so slow with me. I have finally found a running buddy that runs at my pace.

My friend Bonnie and I have run 3 races in the last 6 weeks and it has been a lot of fun. I keep forgetting to post about them so here they all are at once.

The first race we did was a 4 mile race for spinal disease research here in Reston. It was great because it rained very lightly for the last half of the race which felt great and kept us comfortable.

It was right about here that we decided to race each other to the finish.

I think it was a tie.

This is a little out of order because this was actually the last race we did. This was this last Saturday up in Georgetown we ran a 10k for heart disease. This guy in the pic above juggled the entire race!
We were feeling awesome till the last mile and I got way tired and my ankle started killing me. We still made it, I just slowed us down a little bit.

I felt pretty good about how we did though because I don't think I have run 6 miles in about a year. Bonnie is just awesome and she kept me going.

Two weeks ago we did the Susan G Koman Race for the Cure 5k up in DC around the National Mall. It was so fun! There were over 50,000 people that did it. It was seriously crazy how many people were there. I have never seen so many people wearing pink in one place before.

A special thanks to Abe and Bonnie's hubby Chris for being at the finish lines and taking all of the pics for us!
