Claremont 4th of July 5K

So, it's taken me a while to blog about our most recent run, which was the Claremont 4th of July 5K. 

It was a very warm day, even warm at 8 a.m.  Thankfully, a lot of the course was shaded by big beautiful trees, which kept us cool...or at least cooler.  ;)  It was great turnout for a fun race.  We ran through the streets by a park and by Claremont College which had beautiful old buildings as part of their campus.  There was great support from the residents, even though they had questionable senses of humor, telling us we were halfway when we had about a tenth of a mile to go.   Unfortunately, there was a casualty of this race, one guy was down for the count at the side of the road - hope he ended up being okay. 

Looking forward to the next race, AFC in San Diego.  A little nervous, have to do 13 miles in 3 hours.  Hopefully I don't become a casualty too!  

I'm still here...

Just wanted to let you know out in blog land that I am still here, still plugging away, still running, still working on hills!  So I haven't given up yet.
