Races and More Races!

This spring, Scott and I have been training for various races in our area. I love to run in races and go for a PR, while Scott has recently begun training for triathlons. He gets his swimming, running, and cycling workouts done in the early morning hours. I just stick to running for now and try to run three days a week with my long runs on Saturdays mornings. We both have some great friends that run and train with us. I register for races in order to keep my training going. Having a goal to work towards helps me not slack off and take too much time off. Scott began his busy spring by competing in his first Tri at Parris Island in March and had a great experience. We both ran several races in March, the Reedy River Run (a 10K in downtown Greenville), as well as the Cooper River Bridge Run (10K in Charleston). The girls also participated in the Reedy River kids fun run. In April, Scott decided to register for a smaller Tri in Clemson so the girls and I could watch him. It was so much fun taking the girls to various points on the course and cheer for Daddy! We are so proud of his hard work. Last weekend, Scott brought the girls out to cheer me on as I ran the Greer Earth Day 1/2 Marathon. It was so helpful to have their support in that long race! Hopefully Scott and I will be able to continue our training and run some great races this summer too.
