Thats awesome! I want to start getting into races, When I go to Colorado I am thinking about doing the tough mudder challenge in June. Congrats you did awesome!0

It went well!! I ran 3.6 miles, which is the furthest I've been able to go. I did it in 39 mins, which isn't the greatest time for me, but the course was super hilly! It was a race to support a foundation established after one of our football players passed away. His mom was at the finish line thanking everybody. It had a turn out of 500+ people. It was amazing to see.
What a great reason to have a race and his mom being there gives me chills. You are a great person for supporting them.
also congrats on the miles
Me and my daughter(she is 4) are doing the race for the cure next week. we are going with 4 other of our friends so it will be more of a jog/walk kind of a thing. 0 -
Thanks for the support y'all! Good luck to you both on your races!! Hope y'all are having an amazing week!0

Not a good week for me, My daughter got her shots, then ran a fever for over a day, so I couldn't take her to the gym with me. So, therefore I couldn't go to the gym :frown: Then she got sick Thursday, and guess what no gym LOL, As a positive note, I went Friday when my husband took the day off. Then the worst thing has happened, now I'm sick :sad: I feel horrible, I don't want to move... With all that here's my weeks progress or not .... I'll turn it in now, since I may not be able to move to the computer later or tomorrow!!
