For Mother's Day this year, I registered for a virtual Mother's Day run. It was pretty much run whatever distance you want and log it on their facebook page. I really just signed up for this race for the awesome shoe necklace! It did come with a cool medal, t-shirt, car sticker, key chain, temporary tattoos, and race bib. I also ordered myself some cool pink arm sleeves that say My Happy Pace. I'm thinking I will use them for my upcoming Twilight 10K and Half Marathon. I'm pretty excited about them as they have thumb holes also!! I love anything with thumb holes!!
Anyway, I was initially only going to go out and run an easy 5K since I ran my last long distance training run of 12 miles the day before. However, I looked at my training plan and it called for 5 miles. Even though it was Mother's Day and it was rainy out, I pushed through the 5 miles. My legs were not as sore as I would have thought they would have been actually. I wanted to run a few more miles today anyway since my hubby and kids were taking me out to breakfast at a local pancake place that also serves fish for breakfast. This is why my hubby likes this place so much. He always orders the blue gills and eggs. I knew I wanted to splurge a little today so I wanted to make sure I had a decent run with some decent miles.
It was a very pleasant and enjoyable run. It was a light rain so the temperature was nice and the rain was very cleansing. It was just what I needed to start a perfect Mother's Day.
RUN ON!!

I am totally spoiled rotten by my family. Shoes, socks, clothes, pens, and homemade gifts from my kids and my grandma, who's been gone for 8 years. I am so lucky to have such amazing family. It was an awesome day.
We spent the rest of the day relaxing and watching movies. Perfect Mother's Day!
As always my friends,
Laura
