Mendon Days


 In preparation for my Disneyland races,
 I decided to run the Mendon Days 10k. 
I did it in 1:15. It was hot and I had been pretty sick
 the week before so I was just glad I finished.
 Out of all the runners I bet only 15-20 did more than the 5k.
I was doing really well keeping up with everyone 
but then they all turned down the 5k
 road and I had to run alone. 
I did not finish last though!
 The half way mark was right by my parents house so I had
a lot of people cheering me on. That's Lydia and Daisy.
 Then we went to the parade!
 It is a small parade but they throw tons of candy.
Xander liked clapping and waving at everyone.
 After the parade we walked around the booths and
watched the firemen spray everyone with water and foam.
 My Dad is a good sport and took the grandkids out.
Then we went and had dinner at my 
parent's house and played outside.
Xander loves Grandpa!

Great Job Jillian! You are doing really well! I've done a few half marathons but have really gotten out of my groove so I'm training for a 5k on thanksgiving. When are you doing the disneyland run? Anyway, good luck and keep up the good work!
