March of Dimes recap!

I had posted about the March of Dimes-March for Babies event that took place yesterday in downtown Houston! It was a huge success! Our team, Nick Chuck was in honor of Nick, a baby born at 26 weeks at only 1lb 8oz! He survived and is one happy, healthy baby!! I also set a personal record of running(never stopping!) the 5 miles to the finish line! Yay! I pushed my boys because I wanted them to be part of such a special event too! My mom and our friends Jenny and Parker were there too!

This is my mom, my boys and the Jazzercise group that my mom's a part of! These women are SO much fun and a really fun group! The instructor, Christine is fabulous...so full of energy and motivation! Such an inspiration to so many people! There was a cut off at two different spots on the route, and although some of her group wanted to take the shorter route, Christine would NOT allow it...she told them they would go the full 5 miles, no matter what! And they did! I am so proud of my mom for staying active and making exercise a priority in her life :) and it was fun for all of us to walk for such a great cause!!

*I'm totally convinced that I can run a half marathon, so we'll see if I find the courage to sign up for one in my future?! I was so motivated to keep running, because in the group of 30,000 + people on the route, I felt like I could NOT give up or stop pushing myself!! At the finish line, as I was pouring bottled water on my head(it's getting hot here in Texas), my boys enjoyed an ice cream sandwich...Ha! What a way to end a 5 mile race, huh?!
