Race #3 of 2015

March was suppose to be the Mud Run but when the date arrived two weeks ago, I still had gotten no email about where the race was suppose to be held or what time. What was worse was that the race was given two dates for SD. I had the email that said it was that day and then the site saying it wasn't until September. That day was a bummer when we drove downtown searching for it and saw nothing. 

The great thing about living in Southern California though is that there is no shortage of 5K's. So I frantically searched for a 5K that both me AND Birdie could do because she has implied that everytime she can be part of a race, she wants to be part of a race. So it came down to St. Patricks Day and The Race for Autism. We decided on the Race for Autism because it gave us more time to prepare, it was held in beautiful Balboa Park and we got to dress up like super heroes. I ran a 5K with  Birdie in a stroller and then Lillee ran/walked a 1mile race. Only 9 more races to go!

Don't forget to donate to my charity. Only 9 days left. The button is on the side of the blog. THANK YOU!

Race #2 of 2015

Race #1 of 2015

I am not a morning person, yet I got up this morning at 7am and drove to Coronado for the first race of the year. The New Me 5K. Last year I decided to run at least one race per month, working my way up to the Tinkerbell 10K in May and possibly a half marathon before the end of the year. I struggled finding a babysitter for Birdie but at the last minute when I told her what I was doing, she said she wanted to go. So she ran/walked with me and I was extremely proud of her. You find all types of people at these kinds of races and I adore every one of them for making such a beautiful change in their lives. 

Don't forget to donate to my charity for the Tinkerbell Race. You can find a link on the side of the blog and every single dollar counts! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

Happy Blogging.
