Earn your candy!

What better way to start off this candy filled day other than a race in 40 degree weather. Our church hosts an annual 5K and 1K to raise money for the new church building. Little was the only one who volunteered to run with me. He rocked and rolled in the kid's 1K race and was very proud of his gold medal.

It was not so fun for me...rather than 'what goes up, must come down' is 'what goes down, must come up' while running in Austin. The hills were a killer and between mile 1 and 2 it was nothing but straight uphill, and a steep incline too! 9 minute mile my first mile (my typical pace) and 14 minutes for the second. Thank goodness this was a short race. I crossed the finish line a few seconds over 30 minutes.

Happy Halloween everyone...be safe!
