Pictures from my Weekend

Happy Monday! Yes, I made it back from Cleveland tired but happy and in one piece. Had a terrific visit, too. The major event we were in town for was the annual 10K and Marathon, which I've run many times. It was the first 10K I ever ran (that's 6. 2 miles, by the way), 10+ years ago, so I return as often as I can for sentimental reasons.

This year, my mom and sister ran as well (only my sister was crazy enough to run the marathon, which she finished in 3:15--average marathon time is 4:05--and as the 9th woman out of 500+). Here are some pics:

The Night Before, with my mom and younger sister in the lobby of the la-de-da hotel where we stayed in downtown Cleveland

The morning of the race, Mom and I getting ready to tackle 6.2 miles!

There I am, waving at hubby, at about 5 miles (I passed the woman in front of me, right after he snapped the picture, by the way:) )

Bringing in my Mom after I finished

Overall we had a good showing: my sister and mom both placed 2nd in their age groups, and I held my own for a decent 33rd in my own. Considering 10,000 people turned out to run, not too bad, hmm?
