Elvis Presley 5k

Elvis even showed up to motivate the runners!

Saturday morning John Parker, Carson and I ran the Elvis 5k. I wished Kelly could have been there, but he was in Birmingham. I can't even begin to tell you how proud I am of my boys, including Kelly (lost 35 lbs. since he started running-Wow)! I am amazed at how well they are doing in just such a short time of training! I don't know our official times, still waiting for it to be posted, but I know I achieved a personal record and broke 30!!! I am thrilled with that! Carson ran with me the entire race, either one step behind or right beside me, but when he got about 500 feet from the finish, he broke out into a sprint and left me! That little stinker! I asked him later was he trying to beat me or just ready to be finished, and he said he was ready to be finished! I didn't know at the time, but John Parker was not far behind, I think we all finished within less than a minute of each other. Stephen ran his first 5k and did awesome, 21:15 or close to it! He placed 2nd in his age division!
