Upcoming Races

I'm SO proud of my mom because she's participating in the Route 66 5K this Saturday!! I can't wait to join her and see her cross the finish line at her first 5K.

In other news, my brother-in-law called me the other day to say that he signed up for the Arlington 9-11 Memorial 5K in Virgina (where he lives).

I can't say enough how happy it makes me to see my friends and family participate in running events. I love it!

Who wants to run the Route 66 5K or Quarter Marathon this Saturday with my mom and me?
