Cross Country Race In Yucaipa

So, we did our first cross country 5km in Yucaipa today. Fun, but a very challenging course. Lots of ups and downs, crossing bridges, cobble stone trails, shady sandy trails- made for a competitive race. All of the See Mommy Runners kicked butt today. Bobbi was the lone girl doing the 10km but missed the turnaround spot- so finished a 3.4 mile course in under 23 minutes. Megan, Katy and Rachel finished within 20 seconds of each other. Amber was brave enough to push a BOB stroller on this course. Makes it even tougher! We stacked the top 3 "official" places for women!

Great job TEAM! Next race, Fontana Days Half and the TIN MAN Triathlon!!

ST GEORGE HERE WE COME!!!!!!! Bobbi, Megan and Rachel will start officially training for that the week of June 12.

Redlands Runners KICK BUTT!!

Congratulations to my team!

The Run through Redlands happened today and we did awesome! We had two runners in each race; 5km, 10 km, and the Half Marathon. My half marathon runners, Katy and Amber, this was their first ever half marathon and they kicked booty! Katy finished in 1:49 (6th in her age group) and Amber did it in 2:02 and was 11th in the same age group (26-29).

The 5km had Teresa who was pushing a double jogger with twin 18 month old boys and finished 11 minutes faster than last year in 33:19! Dee Ann finished right behind Teresa in 35:54.

The 10km had Bobbi McCormick and myself. Bobbi, one fast cookie, finished in 45:34 and placed second in her division. I (pink skirt) finished in 48:53. Managed to place 3rd in my division despite nagging side stitches.

Upcoming races include the Yucaipa Iris Festival, Fontana Days Half Marathon and hopefully Montrail Run Like a Girl 5mile trail run.

On the home front, my oldest son, age 4, decided to jump off our bed the other day into the square post. We spent 8 hours getting him stitched up.

Highland Run 5km Race Results

The 25th Annual Highland Run happened today. Great run, good volunteer support, although the turnout was low due to the weather report- 80% chance of rain, thunderstorms and wind. We all had fun racing our first race of the year together.

Congratulations to Teresa Gibbons she ran her first 10km today! Teresa finished in 1:08! This was her first 10km and her longest run before this was 4 miles! Great way to get back in shape after having twin baby boys one year ago!

Great Job Teresa.

Rachel did the 5km and her results are here.
