I ran my first race today. I had a great time! I have never really enjoyed running until today. I only do it to stay fit. My girlfriend asked me 2 weeks ago if I wanted to do this boot camp race with her so I signed up. And so did my Mom. We later read more about it and saw we were going to be doing 17 different challenges along the course of our 5k. I wasn't sure I could climb the 6 foot wall or jump the haystacks and do push-ups but I did and I had a BLAST doing it! My Mom tried to sneak past one of the push up stations and a Marine caught her and she had to go back and do 5 extra push ups. My results will post soon and I'll let you know how we placed. I did it in 34 minutes... I guess that wasn't too bad. It was like a park day for Mom and Nammy (that is what my kids call my Mom). I can't wait to do another race! Anybody want to do the next one with me?

Sounds like fun! Good job! That might be fun to try to tackle.
In honor of my death wish, sure! =D
Way to go heather and Mom! My mom is also getting in shape with running to do a half marathon. I am all for staying in shape but man I hate running. More power to you girl!
I think I'll have to pass, but more power to you and your mom!
Hey, where is all the mud and stuff I was anticipating?!? ha ha! So proud of you. I am sorry, I just cannot run to save my life. Dance, maybe...
That's awesome. I'd do one with you if you were closer. Jason did a race last weekend too.
p.s. way to go Cherie.
Way to go Heather! I think its great to keep in shape and to make it fun. I need to work on the fun part. I go to the gym regularly and the best part it getting it done! Good job!
yah, I'll do it!!! Oh, forgot I live too far away! (hee, hee) I hate to run. I'm impressed though. What a cool thing to do with your mom.
