Mumma's First Race

My Mumma has been working so hard this year training for her 10K (6.2 miles) race in June. She ran her first 5K on Mother's Day morning, along with 2,000 other people and another 3,331 in the half marathon and marathon at the Borgess Run for the Health of It. I was sad that I couldn't be at the finish line to see her, but getting up at 5:45 AM really didn't sound all that good to me. Here she is and she managed to get a couple of pictures along the way (thus the camera blur). She finished her first race in 32.13 minutes. She finished 521 out of 1,191 women runners and 70 out of 161 people in her age group. Not too bad considering that only 3 months ago she couldn't even run 60 seconds.

Can you see all of the runners in the 5K? Mumma was mid-pack here.
