From Dancing Shoes to Running Shoes...

As I posted earlier I went to the Middle School Spring Dance last night & I had soooo much fun.  Well this morning we got up & it was rainy & nasty outside & then it cleared off a little so we decided to go over to Buffalo Trace for the annual Buffalo Trace Run.  Zach & I both ran in the race.  We were very lucky because the rain held off until after the awards.

Here we are lined up & getting ready to start the race, there weren't very many of us



Here we are after the start, we went all the way around the lake

Here is Zach coming off the path...mom wasn't at the finish because she likes to cheer us on to the finish so we don't give up.

Here I am with Taylor Rennirt - we ran together most of the race


Yep, that's right I won a trophy!  I came in 3rd for the girls & 6th overall.  I was happy considering the only running I've been doing is in PE for just a mile on a flat track.  We ran 1 1/4 mile today.

And Zach got a trophy too!  He came in 2nd for the boys & 3rd overall.  Good Job Zach!!  I am proud of him, but I still say he only beat me because I was still tired from being out & dancing last night hahaha!

Here we are together.  I was glad that I got to run a race with Zach.  I hope that we run many more together!

I didn't get a picture of him, but the guy that did the announcing for the race & for the awards was Tim Martin, he & Jerry Love coach our High School Cross-Country team & do a great job, but Tim also won the KY Derby Marathon last Saturday!

Now, what could be next...ummmm....I know now it's time to put on the shopping shoes.  Going shopping with my Mimi & PawPaw for my 13th Birthday.  What shall I get?  Clothes, shoes, maybe even some new running shoes - which I'm in desperate need of.
