Grandma Lill’s 95th Birthday Virtual Race

Posted on February 25, 2012 by Carrie| 5 Comments

This past week, while starting slowly back to running, I put my mileage towards a fun event. Hiker Mom celebrating her Grandma Lill 95th birthday. What a fun thing to celebrate.

Go check out Hiker Mom’s blog - Living the Fit Life and see some pictures of Grandma Lill – she’s got a great sense of humor.

I completed 10K in her honor (yes, it says half-marathon, but there was a 10K option and that’s more my speed these days) over 3 different sessions, and because of lots of walking I guess my time doesn’t really matter. But, the third day was super hot and I took the obligatory picture just to prove that I ran in a tank top in February.

My self portrait skills aren’t so good.

So, happy birthday Grandma Lill!

Hope you’re all having a great weekend!!!

      Thanks! Me too. I was going to try a full mile today, but I’m actually going to the gym today for the first time in forever and think I’ll cross train and stay at ½ mile. Will try a full mile tomorrow.

      Thanks Courtney. It’s supposed to rain today, so that weather was a short lived treat.

    Cutting out Red 40 (and other artificial stuff) sounds like a good idea. I would think that it wouldn’t be too difficult. Awesome!!
