Running 'Round in Circles

I'm not sure why I just wrote that as the title.

I think it's because I have been missing my Daddy lately and he always sings that.

"Running 'round in circles, running 'round in circles, running 'round in circles"

That's how it goes.

In case you were wondering.

I think the other reason I thought about that little song is because of the word "running".

If you keep up with my blog you already know so I'll try not to repeat myself too much.

AC, Butler, and I ran the Elvis Presley Run, Walk, Rock & Roll 5K this past Saturday.

It was great!!

Here we are after arriving at Graceland.

All bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Butler, me, AC

Yes, we matched on purpose.

This turned out to be a good idea (thanks, Butler) because we could easily keep up with where the other 2 were when we got separated during the race.

I'm sure you can expect this next comment, but it was so flipping HOT!!

My personal favorite part of the race was the wet paper towels at the halfway mark.

I've never been so happy to see a paper towel.

My goal was just to run the whole thing.

The recent heat wave has prevented me (how's that as an excuse?) from training like I should.

Just running the whole race, not worrying about my time, was what I needed as motivation to continue on this journey towards the St. Jude Half in December.

And I accomplished my goal!

As a non-runner (I guess at some point I'll begin to call myself a runner), this was quite possibly the farthest I've ever run at once.

No.

I take that back.

It was definitely the farthest/longest I've ever run at once.

Here we are after the race.

Same position, just a lot sweatier.

I wish we had some pics of some of the individuals at Graceland that day.

It was a fabulous people-watching opportunity.

As you can imagine.

'Nough said.

Now I have to get back to one of my favorite shows:
