Because of my stress fracture in my foot I did not run. I did do the 2 mile walk with my son's girlfriend - so at least we got to partcipate. Foot was a little sore towards the end of the walk b it is definitely starting to feel better.
Somehow, even with all these people - I saw two people from work - MaryAnne and CJ and two people from my neighborhood, Greg and his daughter Lauren. Shout out to my friend from work, MaryAnne - she cut almost 5 minutes off of her time from last year. Maybe I will be able to do that next year. Hey I have to have goals.
It was my opportunity to meet up with Jame at Running Diva Mom (she needs to be called Running Speedy Diva Mom - because she had an awesome race and Chelsea at EarlyRunner - another speedy racer. We planned to meet up near section "R" - - - Jamie picked "R" for running. . . . easy to remember. Love it. It was great to meet these young women. So vibrant and fun. I realize that I could be either of their mum's . . . and let me just say that I would be proud.
My son and girlfriend were there and also got to meet Jamie and Chelsea. Both of my sons make fun of me for blogging. They think it is . . . in one word . . . weird. They also think it is weird that I have a facebook account. Oh well. On the way back to the car, my son made the comment - that Jamie and Chelsea were obvioulsy a lot younger than me. Duh!!! He went on to say that he guessed that generally older people don't blog. OK - he is my son and I am very old to him. No matter what your parents age, as a child or young adult, you think of your parents as old . . . admit it. But hey - I find the blogging world very interesting - - - people of different ages and backgrounds can come together because of a common interest . . . in this case running.
Here is a picture of me, Jamie, Chelsea on the field at Camp Randall. Next photo is my son and his girlfriend. My son finished in 31:59.
