This morning I participated in the Swamp Run 10K. This was my first 10K, and I'm a little tired this afternoon. I ran a decent race and finished in 58:25. My goal was 60 minutes, so I'm thrilled with this time. The race was held at Laura Walker State Park, and the course was great. Part of the course ran around a lake, and another portion was on a nature trail. It was a true cross-country adventure. In this picture, I'm about to cross the finish line (which is good because I do not think that I could have gone another step). My cousin, Thomas, has really gotten into racing since going with me last time, and he also ran today. He did well enough to earn a trophy.
After the 10K race, there was a 1-mile fun run. Brian, Olivia, and Bailey ran in it. Want to guess who finished dead last? That would be runners #530 and #531 (Brian and Olivia). Olivia "ran" pretty much the whole way, though. Brian said that what really slowed them down was Olivia's fascination with the lake. Apparently, their course ran by the lake at two different points, and Olivia didn't want to go away from the lake once she got near it.
Eventually, everyone made it across the finish line and received medals for completing the run. All things considered, the race was a lot of fun.
P.S. Brian wants it to be known that had he not been with Olivia, he would have finished at the top of the pack.

That is so cute. Congratulations to you, Brian, and Olivia. Your time is great. I'm running my first 10K in 3 years tomorrow. I'm a little nervous.
Congrats!! You look awesome running. Just like a pro!
I love Olivia's attitude. After all, why shouldn't she be allowed to enjoy her morning stroll?
