Barber 2 Boise

In training for a half marathon next month today on our training schedule it called for running a 10K race. A couple of weeks ago I started looking around to see if there was a race that would work with the schedule. Thankfully Barber 2 Boise was slated for the right day. I was happy to know that a couple of our good friends were running as well. It is always nice to have a crew to run with. So this morning Cora and I packed everything up and headed to Kendall and Christian's house where we would later walk to the starting line, Barber Park. This is a random photo that accidentally got taken by the woman we had asked to take a group photo. I was trying to explain to her how to use the camera, and whoops this is what happened.
So this is the photo that we wanted. A happy crew. Left to right: D with Cora, Kendall, Christian, and Wendy.

Cora sporting my racing number. It was pretty interesting trying to run in a big race with a stroller. For the first two miles I was caught up in the crowds, but finally broke away and caught back up with Wendy and Kendall to finish up the race. I also met up with Angie, who ran a marathon with me.

Cora and I at the finish line in Bronco Stadium. Coming into the last turn I had a little moment. I was thinking how cool it was running a 10K with my daughter. Growing up I never thought I was athletically inclined. Over the last 5 years or so I have become more and more active and I am so happy I have chosen this healthy lifestyle. Being able to share this healthy life with my daughter and to be able to set a good example for her makes me not only happy but proud. I hope this is the first of many races with her.
