Freedom Fun Run 5K - July 3rd

The Freedom Fun Run on July 3rd had a great turn-out with over 140 people participating.  It was well organized and the course was a nice layout.  It was a beautiful morning with a conditions perfect for a summer race. 
Took me a couple of days to get this blog posted.  I, personally, am still recovering from the 3rd.  It has to be the longest recovery I've ever had from a run.  I woke up that morning sick and throwing up.  I thought, oh well...it must be morning sickness, I will just eat some toast and then can just run it off.  Uh, no.  That had to be the hardest 3.1 miles of my life.    I had a slight feeling when I tossed my cookies again towards the end of the race that it might not be my normal "green-in-the-face" feeling I have been having for the past 3 weeks.  In spite of running with a stomach bug, I still managed to finish and place third in my age category.  I am pretty proud...that is maybe that hardest I have ever pushed myself. 
I also I have to say I am very proud of all of our FIT-to-GOers, runners and walkers.  ALL of our runners placed in their age categories.  Lori-1st in her category, her husband-1st in his category, her daughter 1st overall female (awesome!);  Paula-2nd in her category, her husband-1st in his category; and Dr. Epplin-1st in his category.  Great job everyone!!!

Oh, yeah...for those of you who haven't been in the gym in a while.  Cory and I are expecting!  (In case you didn't get it from the "morning sickness" comment above.)
