2nd annual women's fitness challenge

It was the 17th annual women's fitness challenge this saturday and for bailey and I, it was the 2nd annual. 12,000 women show up for the event and the streets are lined with supporters (we were sooo happy to have our own little cheering section, thanks hubs!), music playing, and at the finish line there are men in tuxedo's high fiving you across the finish line.

Last time we ran this i think we made it about 6 blocks and bailey was wanting to walk, climbing the big hill up to the train depot was a painful process, and convincing her that the end of the 3 miles was just around the corner - was tough!!

THIS YEAR... I officially have a running buddy and I love it!! Bailey has really become a strong runner and has decided that after she joins her dad and I for the Barber to Boise 5k, her and I are going to tackle a 10k together. I can't wait!!

We realized that since monday bailey had ran 9 miles between xc practice, a meet, and our race. Today we headed to the foothills and ran a couple more to make 11 miles for her this week. Great job bailey bug!!


It was so nice to have a driver this year...and a photographer!

12,000 particpants, spectators galore... we were afraid we wouldn't find Jason but he was front in line cheering us on!

I am pretty sure we're blurry because this is where lil miss runner decided we should sprint it in. Little did she know we were still a ways away from the actual finish - but she kept up the sprint!

We're done!! I really was so proud of her for running the entire way and not even mentioning that she would like to stop!!

See you Oct 17th for Barber to Boise, a family event!
