It's Spring-time and racing season has begun once again. Everyone in the family has run one race already. While the boys and I are only doing running races this year, Scott will be doing some triathlons again.
Rock the Parkway
I ran the Rock the Parkway 10k for the second time in early April. It was a bit chilly, but the sun was out and I managed to beat last year's time by five minutes. Lincoln, Guy, and Scott made a nice cheering section near the finish line, and Lincoln even gave me a big "high-five" as I ran past.
Brew to Brew
Two weeks ago, Scott, Tracy, Randy, Kevin, and Nancy did the Brew to Brew 44 mile team relay race from Kansas City to Lawrence. The "brew" comes from starting at Boulevard brewery in KC and ending at the Free State brewery in Lawrence. It was a lot of fun, but the winds topped 30+ mph and the heat was in the mid-80's. Overall, our team finished in 10th place - not a bad showing for a bunch of amatures.
Trolley Run
Lincoln and Guy ran their own race on Sunday - the Kid's Trolley Run. Scott and I have ran the adult race in the past, but it didn't fit in our training schedules this year. It was fun just cheering the boys on this year. Lincoln did great, but Guy was a bit afraid of the mascots and I ended up carrying/dragging him across the 10-yard race course. They both still got blue ribbons, though!
