Race Day!

***Update: I wrote this post prior to the race day and am sad to report that Paige and I did NOT run in the 10k we signed up for. After staying up preparing for EC's first birthday party until 3am the night before we couldn't muster the strength to run. We still had fun going to the expo and doing all of the pre race activities. So to all of you wanting to run a race the day after a huge party....DON'T! ha!****

This morning I'm trading in my Sunday's best for sneakers and shorts. Paige and I are running okay who am I kidding {I haven't had time to train for this! ha!} walk/running a 10k today. My Dad aka Marathon Man is competing in his second Marine Corps marathon. It's a really neat marathon and one day I WILL run in it with him! I haven't been in a race since the winter before I was pregnant. In order to celebrate I thought it would be fun to take a little walk run down memory lane. haha ;-)

I ran my very first half marathon {The white rock half in Dallas} in December 2010 with my dad.

We had way too much fun during the race. 

Post race smiles.

This was before I sat down and tried to stand up again! ha! We came home from this race and my mom made us a huge breakfast and we watched the race coverage on TV. It was such a great day. The hubs (then future hubs) came with Dad and I, stood in the cold for 3+ hours, and took pictures. Such a great sport!

Hubs and I went to support!

This was the last race I ran in Waco.

  I am making that wonderful face because my parents drove down to meet me at the finish line and I was TOTALLY surprised!  

Running is a family sport to us in case you haven't noticed by now. We all support one another and I'm excited to actually be IN a race today AND support my Dad!
