Running with Julia: Mother's Day Weekend

While I was not home with my Mom for Mother's Day, it was still a very memorable weekend. Started it off with the Proteus Scholarship Fund 5k and finished it off with the Pacific Groove Double Road Race 8k in Pacific Groove. So much fun and so many happy memories. Thank you to all the people I met this weekend. Everyone at both events were just so happy to be there. Can't say enough good things about both groups and events. Here is just a small piece of my weekend joy.

Started the weekend off right by placing first in my AG for the Proteus Scholarship Fund 5k at Valley Oak Golf Course in Visalia. At the finish with my friend Teresa, who also won 1st in AG.

Who could ask for a better way to celebrate an AG win than stopping off at their favorite local fruit stand and picking up a bag of delicious, seasonal fruit! I admit I ate 1 before I even made it to the freeway.

Found these lovlies at Whole Foods after picking up my packet for Sunday's Double Road Race in Pacific Groove. Had to sit and enjoy in memory of my Grandma Dorthy who used to always make them for Mom and I to celebrate our birthdays. She would also make a dozen for Mom on Mother's Day each year. Love and miss you GM.

Collection of bling awaiting the runners at the finish line of the Pacific Grove Double Road Race with Ujena Fit Club on Sunday. Excited to now have two of these beauties in my collection of race medals.

Proud to say I earned one of these for the 1st quarter by placing 14th overall female. Not sure how it happened but glad it did. Shane also earned one by placing 13th overall male. Not surprised by that one though as he does tend to go a little nuts with his races. Looking forward to sharing the Double Racing experience with him in a few short weeks.
