Race for the Cure

My girls and I participated in our second annual Race for the Cure yesterday.  I had, unfortunately, not been training as much as I should have for the race.  I had done a little jogging here and there, but not nearly as much as I had before last year's race. Both girls stayed with me for the first 1.5 miles, then my older daughter took a short break to walk (I think her training consisted of one jogging trip around the neighborhood a couple of weeks ago...)  My younger daughter, who could have finished WAY faster, decided to jog with me at my pace.  We ended up finishing up with a time of 34:10.  Looking back at last year's time for this race, I still beat it by 41 seconds, but was quite a bit slower than the 5k from last June. I do not claim to be a runner by any means, but it feels good to have been able to make it through three 5k's now without any walking. :)
