Pumpkin Push

It is nice to have a goal to motivate you.

It is even better to have friends that have the same goal.

The goal---run a 5K.

I know it's no half-marathon, but we were really proud of ourselves for accomplishing our goal.

Even in the pouring down rain, wind and cold....

we still had a fun time!

We got there early so we could get parking and checked in.

Waiting (an hour) for the race to start almost made us wish we just grabbed our pumpkins (you get one for participating) and headed to our nice warm homes and skipped the actual running part.  

But, we didn't.

We sucked it up and just did it. 

Karrie also met us there with some friends which was nice because then I had a running partner.

We were totally drowned rats when we all finished, but we got our pumpkins and some cool stuff from the sponsors and then ran to the car to get warm.

 

Next year-costumes while we run.
