Oatmeal Festival 2010



My family and I showed up last Saturday morning to walk the Quaker Oats festival 5K race in Lafayette, but then everyone else ran and we didn't want to be the only walkers so we ran too. What a great way to kick off our new year's resolution to get in shape!

The weather was great and the snow made everything beautiful. There were about 1000 runners and a health fair that we checked out at the end. We were all kind of sore on Sunday, but it was worth it.

Great job! I'm sure it helps that your mom is a runner anyway. She's probably great encouragement.

Way to go Claudia! I'm so impressed that you are back to running already! --even if you only meant to walk when you started :)
