Peer Pressure

I have to admit I caved in to peer pressure. Kody did not want to run in the Bonney Lake Days fun run so Bart, Tayler, Kyle (my adopted brother or aka: Bart's best friend) and I agreed to run it with him. It was five miles... most of it uphill. I don't remember the last time I went five miles. I have been walking and wogging 2 to 2.5 and as the race started I begin to really wonder.....WHAT WAS I THINKING?.

The day before the race Bart and Kyle found running short for .97 each. The only problem was they were size XL . After a few safety pins they figured they were good to go, but the rest of us saw way more than we wanted.


Kody finished 10th overall and 3rd in his age group. Kyle took 21st, Bart 43rd. My goal was to not finish last. I took 68th, Tay 69th, she won her age class and won a medal. There were over 85 runners.

For no training I was really happy to just finish and actually be able to move afterwards. We had a great time. We laughed so hard before the race. Bart's stretch and warm up run will forever keep me laughing. It was also fun to to complete it with my little sister by my side. To bad we could not talk Candice into it also.. but her excuse is "she's 32".
