Normally, we run a half marathon this time of year. However, when you have been sick and unable to workout for the four weeks prior to the race, you really shouldn't try to kill yourself when you haven't trained. So Joy downgraded us from the Half to the 5K the day before the race (we had signed up in December). When Bryce heard Joy talking to the race officials at the Expo that we were ONLY doing the 5K, he said, "I've run a 5K, come on, you guys can do more than that! Maybe you guys should come home and run on the treadmill some afterward." Having our pride damaged by our son's comments about the 5K race, we considered this the start of the road to recovery and a nice morning together. We ran the whole race together and finished it in under 30 minutes, so we considered it a success. In fact out of the 800 plus runners, Joy finished 3rd in her age group and Brett finished 7th in his age group. When is our next race?
