This is my mom and I before the race and before the downpour! Let me back up the weekend started with a double header at Wyoming Rogers, we were frying in the dug out it was so warm and sunny, we lost both but played well the second game. 4:30 AM Saturday morning I awake to a downpour/thunderstorm...oh great that will be fun to run in! The race started around 8am and by then the rain had let up, about 2 miles in it started again and by the end we were soaked. I felt bad for people with pants on by the end of the race their pants were sopping wet and they were having a hard time keeping them on! I am proud to say that my mom and I finished the race in just over an hour! Great time for someone who hardly trained and my mom's first race. My sister Kelly ran the 25k and shaved I think something like 15 minutes off her time from last year so that was great too! My dad and my Aun Sharon finished the walk and I am sure had a lot of fun walking and talking! Overall it was a great day that ended with burgers at Uncle Gary's! Can't wait til next year!
Riverbank Run Complete!
