Good evening everyone.  Had a good day today.  Did the first 5k of the year for me.  It was a Fun with Color in Walla Walla, WA.  Had a good time.  Didn't get much color because of the blowing wind.  Which in this area, if we get a drop of rain, the wind will blow for three days.  20 to 30 mph is considered a breeze and we don't bat an eyelash at ever 50 to 70mph.  We just say welcome to springtime in Eastern Oregon.  Today I walked with my friend Sirena's husband Jim.  This was his first 5k.  He did very well.  This was not a timed event.  Just a fun run.  Which is a good way to get started.  I got a couple of pictures, before the race and after.  This is my way of gearing up for my 2nd half marathon in Oct.   Bloomsday is two weeks away.  Butte Challenge is 3 weeks.  Have a couple more in June and just training until Oct.  If any come between July to Sept, I will be at them.  As long as they are fairly local.  I will post pictures for the ones I do until then.
