Dear.. 5kEdition

Dear Midnight 5k.

You were perfect for my first race.  Not only was it gloriously cool, but it was gloriously dark and noone could see my flushed panting visage:).   Also how cool is it that you were perfectly FLAT, although a downhill might have been nice.  Thanks for a great run.

Dear Race Officials,

The shirts are awesome, but what is not awesome is you not telling me about that little timing chip for my shoe..Uncool Man!  That is OK I was spot on for 10 minute miles which means I have finally defeated the 11 Minute mile that has been languishing on my heals for the past several months.  So there!

Dear Tall Guy,

Thanks for running at my pace.  Sorry if I was kind of creepy running next to you in the dark.

-Your Unofficial Running Partner.

Dear Old Lady.

Seriously you are superwoman, I would have yelled that out in the dark, but I didn't want you to startle and break a hip.

Dear Minute #26,

Oh you were a doozy, but hey I won.

Good job on your 5K! When I come we must run a race together.

I LOVE the new pictures. You look great--and I love your hair. Fancy. :)

Congrats Mamasita! Wish I could have cheered you on in the dark. And I *LOVE* your new family pictures. So stinking cute. Love you. Stay cool this summer (how many times did you write THAT in yearbooks over the years?).

Congrats on your 5k. It sounded like a lot of fun. I'm working up to my 5k doing the couch 2 5k program. One day I will be there!

Thanks for making me giggle.

Your family, and pictures, are the best.

Love that you blog stalked me. You look gorgeous and your boys are adorable. Congrats on the run. I still like the quote from Back to the Future III and it is what I live by, "Run fer fun!? What kinda fun is that?"
