A runner Mom too!!

Whew! This is part of what I have been working at the past several months. (check out the link below)That's right I am officially a 'contributing' photographer for the local news paper!! (did I mention to check out the link below?) I cover the Wilderness Trace 5K Series races. My Awesome daughter competes (don't know where that comes from LOL), and has done quite well if I do say so.

It's been a long day due to working a 12 hour shift today so this is it for now ~ later people!!

Autism 5K Benefit Race ~ 1st post

     Autism is a neurobiological disorder affects a person’s ability to communicate, affect their social relationships and is often accompanied by behavioral challenges.
     A local group organized a 5K race to help raise money for Autism research. It was an honor to be there with my daughter, as always, and to have been a part of the cheering section.

Jelly Bean Virtual Race~Check!

What the Hell was I thinking!

Recorded steps = 3.288 mi!!

Still not sure what got into me when I signed up to do this 5K virtual race. Here's a shout to Jess at 'runwithjess.com' thanks for doing this.   My young'un is the racer not the 'Momawrazzi' so I walked. It was a challenge to say the least as this was done with an injury on my part. Like the crazy person I am I thought it would be a piece of cake to bowl again after 35 years, and then tripped later that night when walking the dog Andi. Lord knows I didn't want to fall on Andi, so I attempted to "catch" myself. Hindsight is laughing at me~the Witch! My time was terrible even for a walker, (1:05:00) But it's done and I will most likely do it again...the race that is.
