2013 Melbourne Beaches / Florida Today 8K

This morning started off trying to convince my teenage son out of bed!  It was a chilly morning and we all wanted to stay in the bed...but.... eventually we made it up and to the race start with enough time to easily park and make our way around before the national anthem was sang. The lady did a really great job singing it too, btw.   The picture of the guys to the left is while we were waiting at the start line... my boy was trying to look grouchy. I think he did a good job (:

The three of us ran together for the first couple of miles.  We say Gma C & Papa on the first and second mile.  that was an awesome surprise!  The got a couple good pics that I am adding below.
Just getting started!  
Mile 2 - Still Smiling :) 
This was a really fun race, and we made great time....only to realize the great time was due to the course being almost a half a KM short!  7.6 km was my total distance.  We did great though and had a good time, so the only thing left to do is really work on our time so that next time, we can still beat our time!

When the hubby and i got to the finish line, our son, my inlaws and my awesome friend J was all waiting on us!   The temp was still too low for us to comfortably hang out in our wet clothes, we were all freezing!!!

Sorry this isnt a fabulous RR....my daughter brought a cold home to me this week, so I feel like crud. :(
