Year 2: November Update


*Left: 23 months*   *Right: 18 months*

November 1st- I'm 27!!! Uh-oh...cue the late 20s....where has the time gone?!?!?! I started this blog as a 25 year old right smack in the middle of my 20s.  The other day, my swim coach made a crack on me at practice and I snapped back and told him he couldn't talk to me like that anymore, because I'm seasoned and in my late 20s now!  Hee hee...


I had a wonderful birthday, spending a few days at my alma mater for homecoming.  The game was on my birthday!!!  As I rang my birthday in on halloween, it occurred to me how cool it is that i get to ring my birthday in on halloween EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR.

This was also a good month, because I set ANOTHER 5k PR...getting faster baby! (See Race Report)

Race Report- Turkey Strut 5k

A Thanksgiving tradition...renewed!  My family and I did our first 5k together back in 2011 on Thanksgiving day.  Since then, I've been sitting the bench waiting for a chance to return to the action, until this year!  My family decided not to do it without me the last several years too, because they didn't want me to feel any more left out than I have been.

It was a cold and rainy morning, but I had my mind set on posting a good time.
