Ready, Set, Go!




We're back! It's been an exhausting few weeks. I'll post about our trip to Disneyland by the end of this week. In the meantime, I finished my first half-marathon (fourth in my lifetime) after such a long hiatus from doing races. It feels good to race again. The race happened to land on the hottest day of the week, which slowed me plenty, but nonetheless, I did it. Unfortunately, I missed watching my little nuggets run the kids' mile fun run. Luckily, Mr. Fliz was there to support them and they had a blast. So proud of you, my babies. Hope that is the first of many races to come for you both. I will have to hijack some of Mr. Fliz's photos of the kiddos.

This race meant a lot to me, too, because it was a family affair. Along with my sister and I, my little cousin ran the 13.1 miles, her first half-marathon, and with no training! Crazy girl! Though she was dying by the end, she finished it with a smile on her face. My other cousin ran the 5k, and my nephew and two nieces also did the kids' fun run. There was a strong showing of family support at the finish line and I was overjoyed to be around all of them on such a wonderful day. I am so proud of everyone that participated and completed the See Jane Run race, and who could blame you, because I DO, RUN FOR CHOCOLATE. But more importantly, to raise funds for all those suffering from leukemia and lymphoma.

Micro toasting Micron on her race. Melts my heart.

My beautiful sister
