About the race and other things....

Thanks so much everyone for all your encouragement about our schooling choices. We are meeting with a small Christian School tomorrow and may register with them so that Levi can still participate in their field trips etc and some of their school events. We'll see how we feel after tomorrow. Stay tuned....

And about the race:
It was great! Honestly I was a bit worried as I really didn't enjoy the last one. I felt sick for days after it which I think now was partly a bug that was going around, but still. It kind of scared me. I was glad we'd preregistered for this series of trail runs because I'm not sure I would have raced the next one.

It was in our regular running spot but not our regular route (they made us loop twice over a nasty hill - meanies!) so we were all pretty comfortable with the course.

Angela finished first of course. I managed to stay with her for about half the race but she out paced me after a while.

She's a tough one! I think her time was 53 something...we'll have to check the final times.

Here comes the next one...ME!!! Check out the guy behind me. I did beat him!!;-)


...with a time of 55 something (again VERY hard to remember when you're panting and sweating and gasping for air!)

And following close behind me with a time of 58 something, was Moranda...

She had her whole family there to cheer her on, even the dog! But especially her hubby!


We'd have more pictures of our largest cheering section to date: my girls, Moranda's hubby, my hubby, and both the dogs but of course, the camera died! Perfect.

But here we are....

the intrepid runners. This is the final race in the trail series and it was a fun positive note to end on.

Next we're running the Vancouver Sun Run. It should be a completely different experience as it's one of the largest 10 k's in Canada. The close down a good portion of downtown and people come from all over.
