(virtual run)
So what was the race for you ask....."All monetary profits from this race will be donated directly BuildOn and our efforts to build a school alongside the community in Nicaragua, and will be supporting access to education for ALL. " (taken straight from the website Namaste 5k)
The day before, I took the boys to Sesame Place. We met the Grahams there a few hours later (Tommy, Krissy, Jennifer, and Susan). The 3 kids had a blast, and passed out on the car rides home. Sure enough, the four adults were exhausted.
So when Sunday morning rolled around, I was pretty tired from the day before. I really didn't want to get up and run, but I did have child coverage, so I thought I would get out and do my 5k. I literally just ran up and down my street for about 40 minutes or so. I have no idea how far I went, but I know it was more than 5k.
After the race, I had the boys make a sign with me for Kristie Regan McCourt's facebook page (race organizer). Of course I had Jen Graham take the picture. Notice the 5k at the bottom is not in the picture.

| Seriously Jen Graham, did you really cut out the 5k in the bottom of the picture when you took it?
What the hell does "Namaste" mean? Beats me, so I looked it up.
I spent the rest of the of the week trying to drop the word into conversation at least once a day. I don't even know if I am saying it right, but I get an A for effort. I also got a gift card to Target (randomly selected for participating) which is nice.
I was proud of doing this run, because I really didn't want to physically do it. I had already donated, and I almost convinced myself that I did my good deed anyway by donating in the first place. But something just wasn't sitting well with me that morning, and I told myself I needed to run (and I knew I could make a cool sign with the boys, so that gave me a little extra motivation.). Well worth it.
