Raleigh's Finest 5k

I ran the Raleigh's Finest 5k today.  It was the first time my Momma was able to see me race!  My brother Jay came too and was a huge help.  It was so awesome to have them both there.  It was really hot and humid at 8am already (the high ended up being 105 deg!) which I am not used to at all.  I was able to run a decent race, not PR or place, but being able to run for them to see me was the best!  I finished 7 out of 56 in my age group and 71 out of 282 total runners!  It was a really great race and I would love to run it again.

Momma, Jay, and I


on your mark, get set, go!

the fire dept recruits ran the race in formation...very cool!

the best prize I could have asked for

It really was a HOT day, wasn't it? IT was great to watch you take your mark at the front of the line and then race off with the nearly 300 other runners. I am always proud of you, Jess, but that day I saw a different side of you and once again, I'm so very proud of you!
