Run Forest, Run!

My little sister and I decided to run a race for the Red Cross last week. Neither of us had run a race since High School, which was only last year for my little sister, but 8 years ago for me. We were just planning on running it for our work out, but Sarah decided to run fast and I couldn't let my little sister leave me completely in the dust . I kept up most of the way but she did beat me (by 18 seconds, yep she's amazing) . During the race I was kind of mad at her for making me run so fast. I pretty much wanted to die and felt like I would collapse at any moment. But when it was all over, I was so glad we ran faster than planned. Sarah dominated , and I am so proud of her. We were pretty excited with the results of the race. We came to have fun and we both ended up placing in our age groups! Sarah was 2nd place!! and I won 3rd place. We couldn't believe it. I don't mean to brag because I'm not amazing, the 2 ladies that beat me in the 25-35 age group beat by like 6-7 minutes. But we were pretty excited to place. Thank you to Sarah for pushing me to go faster and harder!! Andrew and I haven't had batteries in our camera for a few weeks, hence the lack of pics on our blog. But here are some, uh, beauteous pictures from the runforred website. It's hard to look good when you feel like you are going to keel over and die. Here we are nearing the finish line.
