Blue Bell Fun Run

Up in Brenham, Blue Bell (only the best ice cream company in the nation!!) sponsors a race for the local high school. There's a kids 1k, a 5k, 10k, and 10k relay. Jared's family and us all signed up for the 5k. I haven't been running so I started training a couple months ago, but jumped in too fast with bad shoes and gave myself a stress fracture in my foot! Ouch! So, I really didn't train at all for it (probably why it killed me!). Plus, Jared and I had to take turns pushing the kiddos! The best part? Free Blue Bell ice cream! The bummer? At 8am before the race I didn't feel like ice cream. By the end of the race, it didn't sound good either! I was very dissapointed in myself, :) but I had an obligatory ice cream treat anyway :)

Before the race

 Justin screamed for 90% of the race. It was kind of sad. He usually rides just fine, so I guess he wasn't feeling it that morning. Lindsey was great. Everyone kept yelling at me "Go Mom!! Don't let him win!" It was kind of fun! But, as you can see, a little ice cream erases any memory of the race.
