Our little group of runners kicked off the new year at the Cool Shark 5k in Brunswick. This was the first time that my cousin Jessica had run with us, and I think she liked it a lot. The course was nice, and there was plenty of food at the finish line. We all ran well, and many of us received age group awards. I finished at 25:41 and placed first in my new 35-39 age group. Nothing makes you feel old like going up an age group.

| Here we are- getting ready to start. |
A few weeks later, I completed The Run 5 (5 miler) with Anna and Krystial. This run benefits the Wolfson Children's Hospital. Anna is an avid supporter of this race. I mentioned this last year, but I'll say it again- this is a tough course. The big plus is that the last few miles are on the Riverwalk, which is one of my absolute favorite places to run in Jacksonville. I finished in 44:05 and placed fourth in my age group. After running, we rewarded ourselves with an early dinner at The Olive Garden. That certainly made all of our effort worth it!
