Blacklight Run

Several months ago, after several years of not making fitness a priority, Shawn and I realized we HAD to start doing something to get back into shape.  We both started running and set our sights on doing a 5k together.  I have been so proud of both of us that for at least 4 months, we have consistently been running 3-4 days a week.  This is pretty big given how crazy the last few months have been with work, the girls, and the new house.  We have both found that not only is it helping on the scale and with our clothes, but that it is also really helping to manage stress.  Yesterday was our first official run-The Blacklight Run at NRG park(better known to most as Reliant!).  It was pretty unbelievable-there were between 16 and 20,000 runners!!!  It wasn't really what we expected.  The course was just set up with cones through all the parking lots and because of the number of runners, or should I say walkers, it was really difficult to keep a good pace because most of your energy was spent dodging people!  All in all though, we are so glad we did it and can't wait to sign up for another!

Where's the starting line?  We're ready!!!

We survived!!!!!
