It Begins

The weekend recap for me looks like this: no running, lots of kids baseball games, and lingering tightness in the knee. I gave myself Sunday off to let this knee settle down. It hasn't, though it is not really that bad. I'm just a little concerned about starting marathon training with ANY pain at all, but I have to start soon. In fact, with tomorrow being June 1st and all, that sounds like the perfect time to get back into running. I will have to put some serious thought into the running plan for the next seventeen weeks and get any sort of time goal out of my head - after all, the main purpose of the marathon for me is to finish and walk away afterwards with a smile.

That being said, here are some pics from the 5K. I look in pain, but at least somewhat happy in the post-race photo:







And just for fun here's a photo of Owen crossing the finish of the Kids Marathon (red hat with yellow bull horns):
