5K and Easter Weekend

Well Monday showed her ugly face today. BOOO!!! I was really dreading this Monday too. I was so busy this weekend that I felt like I needed another day to recover from the weekend. But such is life. With all that said, I had a REALLY good weekend.  I had a lot of fun.

Friday I played some softball.  It was our first game of the season so that was exciting.  I had a couple good hits and I can actually run the bases with out needing a break somewhere between 1st base and home.

Sorry for the horrible pic.  I was in the dug out and there really isn't a good angle from there.

 

 

Then on Saturday was the BIG day. I ran my first 5K.  I know this isn't a big deal to some people, but it was to me, for a few reasons, 1.) My dad use to run 10Ks and I always thought it would be fun to run races and have MY child/children watch me run 2.) It was on my bucket list 3.) It was on my short goal list.  Any ways, it was a good time.  Was it easy?? NO!!!! There were 2 hills that I wanted to destroy. They sucked Balls, (okay I know that is gross, but seriously that is how I talk and that is how I felt at the time!) It was when we were going up those hills that I really wanted to stop and walk, but I remembered what my goals were for the 5K. My goals were to NOT stop and walk and to NOT be last.  Well I achieved all that. And I'm proud of myself. The only thing I would change is the fact of running before the race.  I hadn't ran 2 weeks before the race and I wish I could have done better about training before hand.  But I was sick and then I was too scared to run the week before because I didn't want tired muscles before the race.  If I had trained better I wouldn't have to worry about tired muscles if I ran the week before hand. So for the next 5K I will be better prepared!!

Then on Sunday we went to Great Bend to celebrate Easter. We did an Easter Egg hunt and had a big lunch. I ate way too much, but I think I was still hungry from the night before, well that is my excuse any ways. Oh well it was good. We all had a good time.  I took a bunch of pictures, but I used my camera for once and I haven't downloaded them yet. 

 

After we got back from Great Bend on Sunday afternoon we went for a ride in our RZR and enjoyed the nice weather. We saw some good friends and had another Easter Egg hunt. So needless to say R had a good weekend too. He got to see both sets of grandparents, went to the park (while I ran my 5K) and played with friends, Easter Eggs hunts, and finally he got to go for a ride. We all had a good weekend and we are ALL tired.

 

It is April and we have so much to look forward to this month.  We have a birthday party (a bunch of family members have April birthdays so we are celebrating them all in one night), a Sand Dunes trip planned, a Warrior Dash, and the same day as the Warrior Dash I have a Royals game to go to!! April is going to be an exciting month!! I have a lot of work ahead of me too for the Warrior Dash so I guess I better get busy.  I am glad the nice weather is here so I can do some stuff outside.  I also should finish up P90X this month.  I will be glad and sad to see that go.  I am ready to try something else, but I also like the workouts.  So I may have to continue doing some of them on my own :)

 

Oh Yeah I wanted to also say "HAPPY 15TH ANNIVERSARY TO MY HUSBAND!!" It isn't our wedding anniversary, but this would be the day we started to "go out". What a lame label, but what ever. 15 years seems like forever, but I loved every year.  We have had our ups and downs, but I honestly can't imagine going through this life without him. So I look forward to another 15 years and many more to follow that.

 

 

Have a good week folks!!
