Who Run the World? GIRLS!

Tis the season for the 10k's!
Once again Krissa and I decided that we were going to do London's Run and Ethan's Run.
Or maybe Krissa decided & I decided I would be a good friend and tag along. After all you do get a t-shirt.

Saturday Jan. 28th was London's Run. 
Just like last year it was cold.
And just like last year there was cotton all over the dirt path that looked like dead bunnies.
And just like last year we finished in about 1hr 28 min.

But unlike last year I didn't trip before the race even started!
And unlike last year we listened/sang/danced along to music as we ran which helped A LOT.
And unlike last year we didn't have to take a bathroom break 1/2 mile into the race!


We took a picture before the race & I didn't realize that my number was upside down....

But then I fixed it. 



Saturday Feb. 11 was Ethan's Run.

Just like last year it was through the HILLS of Las Sendas.
And just like last year we finished in 1 hr 24 min.
And just like last year we thought about just leaving early & going to breakfast. But we didn't!

Unlike last year we adopted a "Pirate Code" of "leave no man behind, live together die alone."
Unlike last year this year there was aerodynamic shark fins popping up from our visors.
And unlike last year there were no shouts of "Here comes back fat!" Instead this year it was "OH Justin Bieber! Save me!"  



And no matter how crazy Krissa thinks I am for saying they were both fun, they were both really really fun. I'm ready for another! I feel like I was in better shape for the runs this year then I was last year which is strange since I had a baby 3 months ago. But I've really been working hard on my running endurance & can now go for 3 miles before I have to stop. Kind of a big deal for me.


Oh & many many thanks to Patrick for watching Mr. Spaghetti face & Double Dimples while we did the two runs and for watching them while I go to the gym to watch Vampire Diaries run a few nights a week.


P.S Carly we're SO doing that 5k in April.
Now that it's on the blog on the internet it has to happen.
