The Family That Runs Together....


                               We have been blessed to be a part of a very active family. So when the gals from the DC Trifecta blog hop suggested Family as the theme, I thought this would be a great time to share a little bit about mine.



1. Our family races have always consisted of running at Disney. To date, Disney races are the only race where all four of us have run together.




2. I've been lucky enough to do several races with just my dad. The very first race that we ran together he placed first in his age group!  I was so proud of him!


                                            
3. I've also done several races with just my mom. We really help push and encourage each other along the course!



4. I've done one race with my mom and my dad together. Although we did not stick together during the entire race, we all crossed the finish line closely together and had a great celebration afterwards.


5. Although my sister and I have run many of the same races, we rarely run them together at the same pace. This race was an exception. We ran side by side the whole time! Running with my sister is very special and we have many more races we've plan to run side by side in the future.

So far these have been my favorite people to run with. However, I have a few races planned this year with some other very special folks and I am very excited about that! I can't wait to add some others to our family of runners!
 
Who do you run with? Do you do races with your family too?

Please visit us again on Monday as we have a post that we will need YOU to be a part of!

Thanks to Courtney, Mar, and Cynthia for hosting the Friday Five. Make sure to check them out!
 

Run For The Dream: Williamsburg VA, June 2013

williamsburg, Virginia
 
On Saturday June 1, I ran the Run For The Dream 8K with both of my parents. When I woke up that morning it had to be 90 degrees outside already. It was so hot! Prior to the race we had got e-mails and FB updates from the Event Director Kelly letting us know of the heat and that this may not be a race that we would PR in.
