Jarom and I did our first 5k race together, in Charles Town. It was beautiful, overcast, a few rain drops, and for my second time running 3.1 miles, I think I did decent. The path was beautiful in the historic part of town, and one part was a lane with beautiful trees covering the sky and ancient and beautiful homes lining the street. It was great! Jarom has been awesome at exercising every morning for a couple of hours in our home gym, and he did the race in 23 minutes. I crossed the finish line in 35.2 minutes or something like that. I haven’t come to loving running, but it feels good to have energy to exercise, that’s for sure! I love zumba too, what a fun way to exercise, by dancing and shaking my booty. I am grateful to Jarom who is always so great and supportive in getting me out the door in the afternoons for me to go exercise, usually around 4:30 in the afternoon which is the time we’re usually getting ready for dinner, but he’s amazing! I really enjoyed this experience with my sweet husband and best bud!

I’m looking forward to the DC Race for the Cure, which we will probably walk with kids in the stroller since there will be so many people. But it’ll be an experience!
