5K Success!!

The Walk for Wishes went off perfectly! The weather was a little iffy at first but it quickly cleared for a beautiful day of running/walking, um walking for us. The buzzer sounded and we took off at an early 8:30 am!

Amy and I started out great and kept up our good pace. 3.2 miles is no joke. We didn't really think we would run any. Well, we might have for like 1.2 seconds lol. There were less people than I thought there would be but it was great nonetheless.

We finally reached 1 mile!


Then 2

Then 3

AND WE FINALLY FINISHED! In under an hour notice (52.20 minutes) and we weren't last. :) In fact, we weren't really even that close to last.

I think the overall winner ran it in like 19 mins. CRAZY! 3.2 miles in 19 mins. We joked that he had a shower and was reading a book by the time we came in, he really could have been!

We had the best time! And we had the BEST contributors! Team Flower Power raised $320 for Make a Wish foundation and for that we thank you!

Flower Power will be walking again! You can bet on it. I'm already excited for our next 5k! Thanks Amy for being such a great walking buddy. You're the best!

On my way home later that day the sky was just the most gorgeous blue so I had to snap a picture! It was a great end to a wonderful day.

BEAUTIFUL!
