Weekend with my Mom and Alan
My mom and stepdad Alan came to visit me and Jeff a few weekends ago. They flew into San Francisco and we took that opportunity to see a little bit more of San Fran and see the Blue Angels perform on the bay. We also went to Sequoia again and saw a few more sites we hadn't seen yet. We also got to see the Hornets which was my first time too since we got here. Here's a few pics!
Komen Results
The race went really well and I had a time of 35:30 (11:26 mile pace). My goal was to run the whole thing with no walking and to try to get under/at 35 min, but I'll take 30sec over! My goal for the 5k in Paso Robles is 34 min or an 11min mile pace. I know that I can run a mile in 11min, but it's keeping it up on the 2nd and 3rd mile that's the problem. Here's some pictures Jeff got of me running the end of the race.

Running
After running in the 4th of July 5k here in Lemoore, I stopped running. However after witnessing Jen and Kim run a 1/2 marathon, I felt very inspired by them and decided to get back into it. There are 2 5k runs coming up, one in Fresno and one in Paso Robles.
The first is the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Oct 24th and this one also gives me the opportunity to help raise money to find a cure for breast cancer. No one in our family has been diagnosed with breast cancer, but everyone one my grandparents who have passed have died from some form of cancer. My grandpa died of bone cancer before I was born; my grandma, Mema, died of brain cancer; and just recently my grandpa, Papa, died from rectal cancer. So this race is more than just a race. It's a chance to raise some money to help fight cancer. If you'd like to donate/sponsor me in the run, follow this link: http://race.komencentralvalley.org/goto/siobhanburch.
The second is the Wine Vine Run in Paso Robles (http://www.winevinerun.com/). Jeff won't be running this one with me since he'll be on det in El Centro. This 5k is just for fun and I get a chance to visit a winery in Paso Robles!
My goal for next spring is to run a 10k - don't know when or where yet!
If you'd like to run with me in either of these 5k runs, just let me know! And when I mean run with me - I don't mind if you are faster or slower - you don't have to run side by side with me! :)
