Moss Park Night Race Friday August 5th, 2011

This was by far the toughest race I have done.  It was super hot, the race started at 8:15 and it got dark while we were out there.  Lots of strange noises in the forest and the way was lighted only by those glow sticks....a bit spooky.  Would have been real easy to get lost if you didn't stay with the pack.  Lots of mosquitoes and spider webs........yuck.... guess I'm not the trail running kind of girl.  Wouldn't have known this if I hadn't tried it.  Did get a nice tee shirt out of it (lol) 

Florida Hospital 5k Race at Orlando Science Center (Augustt 13, 2011)

Liz Langan receiving her trophy!

This race was alot of fun.  Liz and I have been walking together and she wanted to do her first 5k walk.  So, being the good friend that I am (smiles) I decided to do this one with her and encourage her through the race.  It was actually a lot of fun for the 2 of us and there were a lot of hills and the cobblestones were something she wasn't use to.  It was a good walk and she did it in 50 min. which is AWESOME for her first walk.  It was nice to walk the race with her and I was very happy to be a part of her first race.  It's nice to do something to help someone and I hope she will want to do more in the future.  There is another race in September in Casselberry and she is going to have Mike (her husband) walk it with her.......so, looks like we've started something and that's a good positive feeling!   Katy and I got her a little trophy b/c she was so cute about wanting to get an award when she passed the finish line.  It was a good momento for her and she was thrilled with it and had practiced her acceptance speech....LOL
