Today was the Ship Bottom Sprint 5k race - The Bear and I both ran it. First, I have to say, I look at these pictures and I think a) I can not believe that this is my 12 year old son...towering over me - this handsome young man! and b) I am so exciting to share my love of running with my kids and have one of them join me in a race. The Bear was at the top end of his age group today and was bound and determined to come away from this race with a medal and that is just what he did. With an official time of 23:16, he was 1st in his age group, 24th in men, and 31st overall!! I am super proud of him!! I am also super proud of myself.... In case I needed further proof that nutritional cleansing this past year as changed my life and my health...I just compared my race results from the Get Sandy 5k Nov. 2013 and today's Ship Bottom Sprint 5K. In Nov 2013 my time was 35:02. Today my time was 27:43!!! I shaved OVER 7 MINUTES off of my time!!!! I also compared my results from the LBI 18 Mile 2008 and the LBI 18 mile 2014. In 2008, 35 years old, my time was 4:01:58. In 2014, at 41 years old, my time was 3:22:28. I shaved close to 40 MINUTES off of my time! BOOM! I know that I feel better that I have in YEARS> I know that I have maintained my weight and my health with a simple maintenance plan. I know these products are amazing. But to see the numbers is REALLY COOL!!! :-) I am so glad that I can share my love of running with my children, but I am also so glad that I am setting an example for good health and physical fitness as a lifestyle. So today, I cheered for The Bear and I cheered for myself!!!
