Atalanta 5 mile race

In April, Brandi and I decided it was time to start losing weight. It has been a tough 2 months for me but it has paid off. I have lost 11 pounds and my waist looks great! I have changed my diet and eating habits. I have been working out like crazy and running races. I feel like I have made some great changes to my life. I hope to continue with this success and running more races. This weekend the race was in Arcata. 5 miles down in the bottoms. My goal was 55 minutes and I finished in 53:28 and placed 51 out of 142. No bad! Scott is always with the girls at the finish line so it makes it easier to finish. I wouldn't be able to do these with out their support.

Thanks to 6 rivers running club for this picture. Closing in on the finish line
Scott says that I was running to fast to get a good picture

Crossing the finish line

After the race, all racers got a ribbon and flower. This race was cool because it was just female racers. Mostly mothers and daughters...maybe in a couple of years, the girls and I will run it together.
