Greggy and I ran the
Sporting Life 10K yesterday (Mother's Day 2012) and we had a great time! I am extremely proud of Greggy for finishing the run without stopping, given he hasn't trained at all for it.
I'm proud of myself for my first race. On May 22, 2011 I started running again (thanks to my dream of enlisting in the Navy). The Navy thing didn't pan out... something about me having to know how to swim and all... but I kept up the running and here we are, 52 weeks from when I first started.

We ran 7:18 minutes per 1 Km. Not bad. My goal is to get that down to 6 minutes per 1 Km and then do a half marathon in 2013.
I loved that my Mom and T were at the Finish Line to meet us... that was really nice.
Maybe this will be the start of my career in racing. Race running? Professional racing? Race runner? Professional runner? Professional race runner?
