Last week
(yes, I spaced putting this up...the pictures were in a different folder) Amanda ran in her first 1/4 marathon. She did it with her friend Maren. They had a blast. The event was called Hippie Chicks. It was an all women event.....super cool! We loved going down to it.
Registration for it is in Novemeber and then the race is on Mother's Day weekendish. If any of you women out there want to join her next year...that would be super fun. There were also walkers so I just may do it also! Although, the time between Amanda's finish and mine....well, you could leave, go eat a pizza, watch a movie and then come back and I'll just be rounding the corner to the finish line :)
Ohhh yeah....you KNOW it's girl power! Notice the ankle bracelets. It looks like they're under house arrest....really it's just their timers.
Nothing's worse than trying to run a serious race and you have two goofy teenagers in your pack! This is about 3 1/2 miles into it. Amanda and Maren spy the camera and decide to look like they're giving it all they've got (Amanda's the one with the wild pony tail flipping...click on the picture so you can see their faces better. Crack me up!)
They did it!!! Still having just as much fun as ever.
Finally a nice and calm shot. And, just as friends would do.....They both wore their new shirts to school the next day....clever.

Wow! That's so perspiring... err, I mean inspiring!! Love their facial expressions in the "we rock at running" picture! I think I'm going to go running right now!!!
That is awesome! Way to go Amanda. It is wonderful to hear how active you all are! Great news.
Soooo fun! The joy of running is in the journey and I think they had a very fun journey. Way to go, and cute race shirts-I'm liking those.
Way to go Amanda! Watch out running is addictive and before you know it you end up running more and more and more.
