This weekend was the Capitol 10K. My mom and I ran it together, and can I just say...I am SO.PROUD.OF.HER. She went from saying (not so long ago) "there's no way I could ever even run a mile", to running in three different 5K's with me, to this weekend, running a 10K. And when I say "run", I do mean "run". No little walking breaks here and there. Just solid running, for a solid six miles. Make that 6.2 miles. Now, my mom is young...pretty much a spring chicken still...but she IS still my mom...which means we at least know she's not in her 30's, and she's not in her 40's. So I think that makes it even that much more of an accomplishment. Grandma my arse. This "mimi" has still got it going on :)
Anyway, I'm a huge fan of the Capitol 10K, and will definitely be running in it again next year. Great route. Great weather. Great city.
Here's a few pictures for your viewing pleasure...

We're almost done!!
Dad is so proud of his woman :)
All I can say is "gross" regarding my appearance here, but I couldn't NOT include an end-of-race pic of me and my mom
Gunnar and Uncle Josh
