I did a 5K Race today!

Henderson libraries held its 2nd annual Read & Run for Your Health 5K Race this morning. It was a little chilly at 7 am but good weather for a 5K run. It was in downtown Henderson starting & finishing on Water Street.

There were about 400 runners including the Henderson Police Academy recruits (gotta love those young men in uniform). It was my first 5K race in 8 years and I finished in 32.13 minutes. Not shabby for an "old lady." My goals were to finish without stopping and in under 30 minutes (one out of two is what I did). The last half mile got me as it was a slight uphill.

In my age division (45-49 years old female), the best time was 24 minutes and that's not shabby at all! The best time was in 15 minutes by a male runner who I believe is in his 40's! Good job to everyone who participated!!

Snowshoe Fun!

Went snowshoeing last Saturday at Mt. Charleston. Had a blast!! Some guys from work, their family members and I went on a 4 mile snowshoe hike. It was not that cold and the scenery was awesome! I fell a few times but no worries cause that's part of the experience. Nature, the peaceful feeling, and good times are what it's all about. If you never done it, you have to try it.

Happy Birthday Brendan!

Today is my nephew, Brendan's, birthday. He is 12 years old today. He lives in Phoenix and I miss sharing life's moments with him. He will be all grown up soon and I'll have missed out on seeing him grow up day-to-day. We see each other a few times in the year, but it's not the same as if we lived in the same city. So.....I'm just an aunt missing her nephew on his birthday. (This is a picture from his 10th birthday. I'll post one from today's birthday later when I get it.)
