- 2014 RACES -
Denver Colfax Marathon - Sunday, October 19th - 2 h 31 min and so PROUD of it!!!!!!!
- November 21st: Pumpkin Pie Race 5K/10K
After finishing the race, we enjoyed a nice, generous and tasty slice of pumpkin pie with some whipped cream. I walked that race with my husband and little guy and some friends. The slice of pumpkin pie was the motivation point for my husband ;-) We might do it again next year! - July 13th: Sand Creek Half Marathon 5K/10K

| On your mark. Get set. Go |
I finished the race. It was hot and humid. Yes, humid in Denver!?! It was my slowest time ever for a 10K but I DID IT! A half marathon and marathon still look very appealing. I will find the time and energy to do it!
- March 16th: St Patty's Day River Run (San Antonio Texas)
The 5K race will be benefiting El Pasea Del Rio Association.
My 1st race out of state. Hope my time will be great because I will be at sea level.

| First 5K for 2013 |
I was surrounded by my Very Special Fan group for the race: my husband and our little guy!
It was nice and warm (41F) and even a little bit hot at time during the race....
My time was 10:49 per mile. Pretty Happy about it! ;-)

After picking up my gorilla suit and bib for the race, I had to try it on, two things: (1) The gorilla suit is hot only after wearing it for few minutes. (2) The suit shed like crazy. It was all over me and in the house.... I will have to take into consideration those 2 remarks to get ready for the race. It is going to be interesting but will be Fun no matter what! Perfect timing with Halloween around the corner...

The weather was perfect for the race sunny, as usual, and cool enough to wear short and tee shirt underneath my suit. I did not wear the mask, like most of us. You could not see well even and it would have been too hot and uncomfortable.
The only negatives were: No tag for your time and no mile or kilometer marks
I am ready for next year!
