What better way to celebrate Mother's Day than waking up early Sunday morning for an 8km run? Hmm well I could think of many... maybe spending it with my Mother, but unfortunately both are all the way across the other side of the Pacific Ocean, so I guess this was the next best thing. Well it was for a good cause, raising money for breast cancer research and motivating me to get back in shape again. This was for my Mom, the bravest, kindest, most loving and giving, helpful, bestest Mother anyone could ask for.
Here I am at the beginning of the run, all fresh and ready to go amongst the crowds of eager runner. This is a like a 'Where's Waldo' picture except Waldo is me :)
Look how fast I'm going, I'm just a speedy blur whizzing by...
haha, ok maybe a little bit of the blurriness is due to our crappy camera

Yay, finally finished 49min 50sec later. I'm exhausted, Todd get the camera out of my face! Sigh, alright I guess I'll humor him and muster up a smile and a wave. There were MUCH worse photos of me after the race, but I'll keep those ones safely away from all to see.
Ok feeling a bit better, gotta get that timing chip off my shoe.
Mmm, finally through the crowds of people to get my water and watermellon :)
