Memorial Day 1 mile Fun Run

Memorial Day sure was fun this year. Sharon convinced me just days before to do the 'Run of Remembrance' 1 mile fun run in AF. She was going to do the 10k and then run the 1 mile with my brother and their cute kids. She's a maniac runner, that Sharon. She amazes me!

It was actually a really fun run - hence the name 1 mile "fun run"...imagine that.

I got to push Bubbs (my niece Elizabeth) in the stroller while I ran. And I tell ya what? It was much for fun to push her in the stroller. As Sharon says, "Bubbs is good luck". And that she is. I ran the mile in 13:18. I was very happy with that. When I did my 5k the first mile I did it in 16 minutes. So yes, Bubbs is a little lucky charm. I'm thinking I should take her on each race I do.

Sharon and their oldest boy Owen did the 1 mile in 8 min. Amazingness!

Later on that day we had a get together with the family, and had a little bbq.

Here are some pictures of the race.

Oh! And I found out after the race was over a dear friend of mine, Melanie, had ran the 5k and the 1 mile with her daughter. As she saw the pictures of the 1 mile she noticed I was behind her. We had no idea either of us was there. So funny!

Just kidding...I think that's his friend.

 The pictures Melanie's husband took of her...and there I am not too far behind her.

GO MEL and TAYLOR!
