Just a quick update... Back to school, 10k race and etc...

Hi all.... just stopping by to share a few updated pics of LIFE.  The kids went back to school about 3 weeks ago, soccer & football season is in full swing and LIFE is on the gooooo!  So far, so good as far as school is concerned.  The kids are all settled into their classroom routines just nicely and homework is at an all time high for my 4th grader.  We're making progress with it all and managing to keep smiles on our faces in the process.

 

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to run my first 10k (6.20 miles) race with Black Girls Run!   I did absolutely NO training 2 weeks prior to running the race so I was unsure about how I was going to complete it.  I did GREAT and had to dig deep to find  some inner strength to get me through that race.  The weather was perfect and we took over the streets downtown with 3000+ runners.  It was a beautiful site to see.  I'm sooooooooo glad it's over, though :-).  I had hopes of signing up for the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in the coming weeks but I have yet to register for it.  We'll see.  Here are a few pics from race day:

 That's me running in those colorful tights.  The pics were courtesy of my hubby :-)

 Well, that's all for now.  I have a BIRTHDAY coming up on October 1st so I may snap a picture of my celebration on that day.  It's just a blessing to be alive, healthy and well.
