She's 65 and has been running for years. And when I say running, I mean long-distance running. I had no idea what to expect since we had never done a run together but let me just say, I could not keep up with her. AND, I did the 5K and she did the 10K. She did awesome but it was just downright sad for me.
Here's us after it was all over. Notice my face is as pink as my shirt. As you can imagine, it was unbelievably hot. It is June in the Deep South after all. Also notice that her face isn't red at all.
These 4 ladies had the fattest time in each of their age categories. Aunt Affie is on the left. She had the fastest time for ladies 51 and up. They each got a basket of peaches and some of them just happened to go home with me! (I am surprisingly missing from this picture. I think I might have been last in my age category.)

Way to go Jill, and Aunt Affie! I can't even fathom running in this humidity! ACK! You go, girl. And those peaches sure look good, I can almost smell them from here. Peach crisp. Mmmmm....
Have a great week!
I think you rock just because you can run a 5K. I've said before and will say it again...I could only run if I was being chased by a knive-wielding freak.
I am with Janna.
You do rock Jill.
First or last - you finished! And that definitely rocks!
I love running 5k's they are such a great way to get a morning started or a way to justify eating a lot on certain holidays!! The surf city 5k in huntington beach is on the 4th of july here. I can't wait to be out there sporting my red, white and blue. However, I will cheering everyone on since I blew out my hip a year and a half ago!
Oh goodness! You deserve huge awards for even doing it! :) That's great that you got to do it with your aunt. I'll just keep baking... hehe. :)
xoxo,

You are awesome and so is your great aunt. How fun that you got to run together.
I can't run for the life of me. I admire those who can! Be proud of yourself!
Wow - I wish I were as in shape as your Great Aunt Affie...amazing!
ROCK ON Aunt Affie :) oh yeah and ROCK ON Jilly.
