She wasn't really happy about it. In fact, she was kinda mad by the end. But, Brandie completed her first 5k yesterday, and in a pretty good time.
Yesterday, we all went back down to the Marine Base at Quantico, VA for the RunStock 5k (in celebration of Woodstock Weekend). We ran with the same group of friends that we ran the RunAmuck with. This time, Mike stayed with the kids - all 7 of them (5 of ours and two of theirs) and Brandie ran the race.
It was an evening race and didn't start until 7:15. It was still well into the 80's and was pretty humid. There were about 600 people that ran the race. The course was a pretty fun course (not if you ask Brandie!). It ran through the town and out along the Potomac River. It was really cool. In homage to the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock, there were bands set up all along the race course keeping us going with their music. After the race, there was a big stage set up where some local bands played and the rest of us recovered.
It was Ainsley's birthday yesterday and she thought it was pretty cool that we took her to a concert for her birthday. She was bummed it wasn't Taylor Swift!
I am so proud of both of you. I can imagine the Brandie didn't enjoy the race but I have a feeling that she will get hooked and enjoy such a distance in time. I think it is so cool that you guys run together. I have seen the benenfits and you both look terrific! I have gone jogging a few times since I was in Idaho in hopes that I would get hooked but I can't right now, maybe in the winter. You guys are awesome!
