Gilbert Days 5K

a couple of weeks ago, alexis, ariana and i went out to cheer on my sister and her husband as they participated in their first triathlon. we were beyond proud of them! as we watched, alexis made the comment that she would like to do a race. i think she liked the thought of people cheering her on. lol! well, she was going to get her chance sooner than she thought! both of my sisters were signing up to run the gilbert days 5k run so alexis and i joined them. she was such a trooper! we only had two weeks to train before the big day...yikes! we had early morning runs and for the most part she did awesome! to make her push even harder, i decided to place a little wager....we would both put in $5 and winner takes all. $$$ is always a good motivator.

here we are all ready to get this over with....i mean started!

our cheerleaders

once we got started, i was left in the dust (i blame it on the knee surgery). but we all made it across the finish line.

notice who won the bet?! way to go lex! she ran her first 5k in 33min!

we look forward to more family races together.
