The first was the Jingle Bell Trail 5k - a race that is somewhat of a tradition for me. I ran it for the first time in 2008 when I was about 5 weeks pregnant and dealing with a touch of morning nausea... I ran the race, crossed the finish line, then literally kept running straight to my car.
The next year I way WAY out of shape so I missed out on it... The following year (2010) I was desperately trying to get 'back on the saddle' so I did this race with my friends. This was kinda the start of MRTT!!! We had a blast and it helped get me motivated (although it took until late Feb to get into a routine - I HATE the cold!!!)
This year our group of moms has grown and we had 12 MRTT mamas from our chapter run the race!! It was a BLAST and I even got a PR for the course! (Not hard when the first year I was preg and the second year I was out of shape hahaa).

After the 5k was over I participated in the 2nd race which is for one of my other running clubs - The Peachtree City Running Club. We ran this race twice as part of our Grand Prix series (we get points for monthly fun runs throughout the year). This one was a challenge because we had to run the same course in the same amount of time we just finished the 5k in!! Um, yeah I was off by a few minutes :)
Here is a photo of the LRBs on my race bib. Hope they enjoyed their first run!!!
