Sierra Point Prowl Race

Hubby, the boy and I ran in the Sierra Point Prowl.  We all did the 5K.  The boy ran ahead of us and finished the race in 41:07.  Hubby and I were about 20 minutes behind the boy.  This is the second time we have done this race.  Last year the boy and I did the kids 1 mile fun run and hubby did the 5K.  The boy ran it and I walked it.  This year hubby and I ran the first mile to the bridge which took 15 minutes, walked for 16 minutes to the turn around, ran for 15 minutes to the bridge, walked for 10 minutes and ran the rest of the race to finish it in 1:00. This year there weren't as many people doing the race.  After the race all the participants got a free lunch provided by the Lions Club.  They had tri-trip sandwich, hamburgers, polish sausage and hots, chips and a drink.  Last year there was a British Car Show going on too.  This year there were a few cars from the car show.  The boy was looking forward to seeing the car show so he was disappointed when there were hardly any cars there.  We all did much better then last year.  I was able to to run more of the race this year.  Next year I should be able to run the whole race!

Fun Family Morning

Hubby, son and I have been walk/jogging for a couple of months. We have been doing more walking then running though but we are slowly getting there. So this morning we participated in “The Sierra Point Prowl” our first run race. The race ran along the water over to the marina. My friend and her family ran the race with us so that was nice. She is the one that told us about it. It is a fun race and I am glad she suggested we participate in it. It is a family fun run that had a 1-mile, 5k and a 10k run. The boy and his friend ran the 1-mile, hubby and I were going to run the 5k together but I only lasted the 1-mile. I walk/ran for a mile then turned around and came back. Hubby went for the 5K. Next year we will be in better shape to run the whole way. Afterwards we got a yummy BBQ lunch of hamburger/cheeseburger, hot dogs, British bangers or tri-trip sandwich with chips and a drink. There was a British car show going on too so we got to see some really cool cars. A very fun way to spend a Sunday morning.
