The big race!
I am turning 40 this month, so I decided I needed to do something to celebrate the milestone. I have been jogging for many years just for exercise, but had never entered a race, so I entered a 10km. Sydni chose to join me in the fun. We ran together all summer and completed our race on Saturday. Syd and I had a blast! We made it the whole way and we weren't even in last place. We even shaved 10 minutes off the time we had been running in training. It was a great run through the pathways in Calgary with lots of hills. After we went up the first hill we decided that it wouldn't be to bad because what goes up must come down. After we finished we went out for a milkshake at Peter's Drive Inn. (Those of you from the Calgary area will know why that is such a treat!)
