2013 River Bank Run

We just got home after a weekend in Grand Rapids for the River Bank Run. I ran the 10k this year and had so much fun. I have to say, I complain about the training and often don't feel like doing it, but when it comes to being a part of the event it's pretty amazing.

The crowd gave me bursts of adrenaline along the way and I felt great the whole run! I ran it in 1:01:59. I would love to run it in under an hour, but I am happy with this time because I felt so good during the race. I sprinted across the finish line...my favorite part. Can't wait to see the official race photos.

Gil and Laila both came downtown to cheer me on. Laila got lots of attention and pets. 

We also got to spend some time with friends and family while we were in town. Busy weekend!

Everything is in full bloom right now and it is making me so happy. Summer is just around the corner...

And finally...Happy Mother's Day to my amazing mom, Mary Jo. I love you!!!
