Bunker Races

My neighbor Di and I decided to sign up for the Bunker Races today.  A new twist, we signed our kids up for the 1 mile fun run.  The boys and I trained this week.  Carter also wanted to run, but he made it about a block before he was on my back.  That was not going to fly for race day.  Maybe next year.  The boys did awesome!  I was so proud of them!  Kyle finished at 8:02 and Ryan finished at 10:33 (unofficial times - should have official results in a few days).  My 8K race was altered due to icy trail conditions.  The brochure mentioned "gentle rolling hills" but they failed to mention there was no flat spot on the course.  It was exhausting and I am not used to running hills.  My legs ache tonight, but it was such a great feeling to cross that finish line!!!  FUN times!
