I am so proud of my girl! Ellie completed her first 5k last Saturday and she did so great! It was really cold and ridiculously windy but she was tough and she walked/ran the whole thing with my awesome mother-in-law. After the race there was a drawing and she was so excited when they called her bib number and she won a big pack of Gatorade mix. She felt like she had won the whole race. It was so freaking cute.
I did my first 10k at the same time and although I wasn't super fast and the first 2 1/2 miles were into a 20 mph headwind, I finished! I treated it as my long training run for the week and I'm well on my way to being ready for my (super slow) 1/2 marathon in June.
The best part was having Rob and Piper there cheering for us at the finish line. They were such good sports to stick around in the crappy weather to cheer for us.

Me and my girls in the car after the race. Piper was so excited because she won a huge bag of Swedish Fish!
