Day 148 Race Day

Woohoo! we did it! We went to Ottawa today for the race and it was great! These are photos of the Wolfs and Popke kids ready for the 2km run, a photo of our family, and a photo of Michaela and I just after we had finished the 10km. This was my first 10km run and I am officially hooked. It wasn't easy but it was motivating to have all those people running beside you. I realized that I'm a bit competitive...if people were running too slow in front of me, I just wanted to keep passing them. There were kids along the way with their hands outstretched for high fives, a couple of people with their sprinklers out hosing everybody down, Stephan, Trevor and all the kids were on the sidelines at the beginnning and at the finish line, I thought I heard someone call out SOMER and it turns out it was Kimball, I couldn't see him though. It feels so good to have made a goal and achieve it. Whew! Next year the half?
