Happy 4th

Today I ran my first 5K! I did it in 38:19, not bad just
beginning to run, 10 days ago. Eric even brought the girls down to
watch me cross the finish line. My friend Danielle ran with me and we
had a good time, chatting, running, and finishing our first 5K. We even
helped to raise money for the Ronald McDonald house. ***http://members.cox.net/kei1race/fire072.txtfohttp://draft.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifr
Not sure if the link will work, but it has the results. I ran for team curves which came in 3rd for the teams and for team curves I came in 4th. I was 23 out of 33 for my age group with a 12:20 pace.


I've got to do a shout out to my running partner,
Panther. She enjoys our runs and keeps my company...and doesn't
complain about my pace!

We're going to stay local and watch the duck drop race this afternoon and the fireworks tonight. Happy Fourth of July everyone! ***The duck drop, was 2700+ yellow rubber ducks dropped into the river to "race" to a finish line. Buy a duck, and first - third finishers got $$ prizes. Floating ducks, float slowly. But it was cool to see that many ducks dropped over the bridge!

What exactly is it that the ducks are dropping. I wouldn't want to stand too close :)

Way to go Cyndy! I started to run a few weeks ago, but became a slacker and stopped. At least your partner doesn't complain, my two do!

Woo-hoo! Way to go on the 5K!! Are you ready to try a triathlon when you come to Iowa? I haven't been training, so don't worry about that!

Hope you are having a great day! Can't wait to see you in a few weeks when these pesky tests are over!!
