My first 5K as a mom

Today I ran my first 5K since I was in high school. I am

training for a half marathon with my friend Lisa. So we are

going to try to get a few races under our belts before the

big one.

The race was here in Flagstaff at a place called

Buffalo Park. It was sponsored by Girls on the Run. It a

organization the is for young girls, teaching them about

self-esteem and being happy with who there are.

It was great being part of something that is so important

in our culture and the struggle girls can have.

It was pretty windy today but it felt good when we finished.

It was a great sense of accomplishments and the bonus

is that we are training at high altitude. I am hoping

that when we run our race in Phoenix it will seem to

be a lot easier.
