My first 5K!!

As many of you know, a few months ago, I started jogging. I never in my life thought I'd be a runner, but always envied how free and relaxed the runners around my looked. Well, this past Sunday, I ran my very first 5K! I had worked up to running 2 miles pretty good, so I thought the last mile would just be me pushing it really hard at the race. Boy, I wish I had known about the HILLS! I am used to a slight incline around our neighborhood where I jog, but THESE WERE CRAZY HILLS!! The race benefited Kids Against Hunger which is a wonderful organization our church supports. I was happy to have a few friends there with me as well, which was great support and challenge. My friend, Rachel, has been challenging me with her own running progress. I'm not that competative a person, but it really does motivate me when others around me are just a little ahead of where I am. So, here are the stats...Out of close to 400 people total, I finished number 175 at about 37 minutes. Would I do it again....heck yeah! In fact, there's a 5k coming up July 4!!

And after...still smiling!

New haircuts!!

Some quick pics of the spring hair cuts for the girls! It was Ava's first haircut and she did really great! She sat still watching the stylists trim up her bangs. He told me he put layers in her hair ...not sure why?? You can see her big beautiful eyes now, instead of hair all in her face. Haleigh decided that she wanted short hair for the summer. I figured it's her hair, and if she doesn't like it, lesson learned, and it will grow back. Well, see for yourself...it's adorable!

Before...what a mess!

After...cutie pie!
