I ran a road race for the first
time Sunday!
The La Parisienne 6.7 km!!
I started running at the
beginning of the summer.
The furthest I've run is about
4 km.
I had every intention of stopping
at 4 and walking the rest..
but I just kept going!
It was so exciting picking
up my number!
And the day of the race there
are over 25,000 women running!
It was such an amazing day.
Never in a million years
did I ever think of running
a road race.
And now..
I want to do another!
It's addicting!
There was a group of us
that ran.
So fun!
Yesterday..
Griffy didn't go to school.
He woke up crying and
said he didn't want to go.
I didn't push him.
So we went to a cafe together.
(I had a delicious fig and mascarpone tarte!)
We've been having warm sunny
days with gorgeous skies over the city.
(sunrise this morning over Les Invalides)
And this morning he's off!
We kiss each others' hands
and put them on our cheeks
when we miss each other
during the day.
My hand is always
on my cheek.
So proud of you buddy!
Awesome that you did the run! Wow! Love the look of that cake and sunrise, too :)
ReplyDelete25 thousand runners and they took the time to put your name on your number!!!
ReplyDeleteHow impressive was your first outing, Pam!
Love the shots of happy Griffy with the cake and with his schoolmates!

So glad he went back today and you didn't have to push him! Looks like he's not the only one with some hesitation about this school thing! ;) The cheek idea is great - I love that!! It's definitely not an easy transition. Good luck with the rest of the week & I'm so proud of you for running a road race! Awesome!! xo Duxrox

ReplyDeleteWas researching La Parisienne race as I am coming up to Paris and running for the first time this year. Just started running and am a complete beginner so it was really interesting to come across your blog and see your write-up. Very interesting and well written.
