So, in order to get in better shape and have something to work for, Rebecca and I decided to train for the American River Parkway 5K in Sacramento. And--- WE DID IT! Two of our friends trained with us and ran it as well. That day was beautiful until we were about half way through the race when it started drizzling and then after the race it was raining and then it started pouring. :) I got soaked when a tarp I was standing under decided it got too heavy with water and let it go - all over me! Yeah, it was COLD! But it was also very Fun! Here are some pics we took!
Here are pictures of us BEFORE the race...

AFTER
the
Race...
Here is how Rebecca and I did! We both did better than in training - it's the adrenalin probably! I was especially proud of my time because I got really bad shin splints and couldn't train at all a week and a half before. We are planning on continuing to do 5k races and work on our speed.
WATCH OUT DAD - BY THE TIME YOU COME VISIT WE MIGHT BEAT YOU!!!
