Go Go Mamas

Wow! We have been busy since my last post. Not sure where the days and weeks go but sometimes I have a hard time keeping up on my blogging. The end of April was a busy month with a 3 day trip to the snow in Reno (while Jim worked), a 4 day trip in the warm sun to Las Vegas, followed by a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Mike last weekend, and then next thing you know it's May!

So backing up a bit, I ran my first ever race in April (Rocklin Run-5K) with my mom's group. One of the mom's organized our team and got us these matching cute T-shirts (they are hard to read in the pictures, but they say "Go Go Mama's". Yep, that's us, the go go mamas! I've been running with a group of the girls on the weekends and have really enjoyed it. I've never been much of a long distance runner but it can get kind of addicting. I always hate the first few miles, but man when it's done, you feel like a million bucks. Not to mention, I love, love the time with the other moms and time WITHOUT my kids! I had been really sick leading up to the race, but managed to still run and also get a pretty good time. I came in 7th for my age group (30-35) with a time just under 26 minutes. After the run, one of our neighbors had a BBQ with everyone in the neighborhood. The kids ran around playing while the adults enjoyed some beverages and it was a gorgeous day! All in all a completely and totally perfect day (and that doesn't happen very often).

Here we all are before the race.
