10K

I did it!
I know a 10K isn't the most brutal race, but I am happy I actually did it (without stopping to die)! I loved running along the coast, the breeze coming off the water was SO nice, and I could taste the salty ocean air (or maybe that was just sweat dripping off my face.. EW!).
I'm just happy it's over! I need to start training for a half marathon, but I'd rather just run some 5Ks and call it good!
















My fan club. They were so cute. I could hear the cheers as I ran toward the finish line "Run Rachel Run!", everyone should have their own cheering section! After the race when went to eat at Pasta Pomodoro.
The pasta isn't the greatest ever, but the bread and the pesto dip.. Makes the trip worth while! Gosh it's so good.. Now I'll be thinking about it all day..

After lunch,

The kids wanted to go to the beach.. I wanted to go home and sleep..
No that's not a hobo we found! It's me.. Trying to get some beach sleep!
It was SO VERY COLD! But the kids insisted on wearing their suits and getting in the water!


Yeah for the beach! Oh.. look at the freezing cold kids!

Rachel, congrats! That is so awesome that you ran a 10K and it looks so beautiful running by the ocean! You also look amazing, like a true pro, good job!

That looks like a great run. And good photos Mr. photographer. You are not allowed to call it good with some 5ks. A half is a must! Sacramento - 2 months.
