Sabino Canyon Sunset Run 7.4

This year's goal was to run the Sabino Canyon Sunset Run with my girlfriend Shonda. We've run it for the past 2 years when it was just a 10K. But this year, I was having a baby, and it was 7.4 miles-a mile more, all the way to the top of a mountain and back. The last mile is a killer push us the mountain. It is really a steep work out. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to do it this year, but Mitch was born 3 weeks early, and it was a little later than last year-in April.

I was so nervous before the race, but I did it! I finished in 1:16, 10 min miles. Not too bad considering I was climbing a mountain. I was really proud of myself for finishing. On to the next challenge!

Mitch was such a good boy. He stayed with some good friends and enjoyed all the milk he could drink and staying up as late as he wanted. It was good for mommy too because he slept until 2am, and then woke up at 8, yay for extra sleep!
