Happy 4th of July, Virtual 5k, and Cottage Fun
Happy 4th of July everyone! What are your plans for the day? This morning we'll be running the LL Bean 10K in Freeport. It's turning into a yearly tradition. I remember a few years back, thinking "wow, a 10K is such a long distance, I don't know if I can run that far" - but I signed up because I wanted the free shoes. For a while there, if you were one of the first 400 to register for the race, you got a free pair of New Balance running shoes. This year, the race organizers changed it to and had a lottery for the shoes if you registered by a certain date. This year Ward won a pair of shoes in the lottery and I didn't. Not a big deal because I haven't been a big fan of the make of shoes we've been getting and Ward has. I spent Saturday working on making sparkle skirts for my girls. I'm not a great seamstress at all and I hope they don't fall apart during the run. I used this link from Moms Run this Town as my model...
