Weekend was great!

Friday night Drew, Parker, and I went to the annual Yukon Rodeo. The weather was perfect, and we had a lot of fun. Parker did the goat scramble. It was so cute, but there were so many kids that I don't think Parker even knew the goats were there. He just ran around following everyone else. It was definately worth the ten bucks. Parker didn't want to leave.

Saturday I woke up early to run a 5k in El Reno at the Lucky Star Casino. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. I found out about the race on Thursday and decided to give it a shot because I've been good about running daily. Registration started at 7 so I hurried there because I wasn't completely sure on how to get there. There weren't many people there -maybe 50 or 60 participants. The race was an out-and-back course on a country road. Pros of the race: not many people, only $10, and the course was surrounded by farm pastures. I loved that I could breathe in fresh air and see clear blue skies and waves of grass. One con 0f the race - there were no spectators! No one was out there cheering us on, so it was very quiet. That's not a huge downfall, but it would have helped. The best part about the race was that I ran it in 25 minutes! I haven't ran that fast since high school, so I was quite proud of myself. I just wish Parker and Drew could have been there with me. (Drew was taking his bus-driving test, which he passed!) I got first place in my division, and I was the 6 female. With this as a motivational boost, I'm going to keep training for the Spirit of Survival 5k in October. My goal is to break 22 minutes. My PR for a 5k is 21:21, and that was when I was a junior in high school. Oh, it's going to be a tough one. Anywh0- after that race, I had to race to work because I had to be there at 9. I was late. Oopsy.

After work we spent some time with friends and enjoyed the evening outside. It was a good ending to pretty good day.
