The only thing that worries us? Until Saturday the farthest either of us had run was a 5k. We decided to tackle the distance on Saturday and were very proud that we both survived. We're planning on another 10k run tonight after work. We're going to be slow, but we're pretty sure we'll be able to cross the finish line come race day. Fingers crossed!
Race fever was contagious and we ended up signing up for two more races this weekend. We're doing it a bit backwards and doing the 10k in less than a week and then two 5ks later on in the month. That should make the 5ks feel easy, right?
We're supporting Josh's new job at Creighton by participating in their Jaywalk 5k on Saturday, September 22nd. It benefits the local Jesuit Academy and is a Creighton tradition. We plan on reppin' our new blue and white t-shirts at this event!
The last 5k we're doing this month is the Rundee Dundee. It benefits the Omaha Healthy Kids Alliance which is super important to me as a former unhealthy, overweight kid. It is on Saturday, September 28th and kicks off Dundee's annual festival. It should be a good time, and you get a pair of undies with your race entry. I won't be wearing them during the race but they will be a fun souvenir!
And those are our September races. We're looking forward to them all and are hoping they help us get back in our running groove.
Question of the Day: Are you running any races this month? If so you should enter to win Road Runner Sports 30th Birthday Sweepstakes. They're giving away $30,000 worth of prizes! I don't know about you, but that would keep me good on running shoes for a loooong time. I'm crossing my fingers I'll win some cool new running gear!
