The air is warm, flip flops, & BBQ's it's time for summer. When I think of kicking off the summer I think of the BB! It's one of the most fun races ever! Its only a 10k, and I love 10k's. It is the perfect length for a race in my opinion. Not too long not too short. You are surrounded by a ton of spectators and there is a huge number of participants. It's the only race I've ran where spectators are handing out free beer! It is also significant b/c my husband proposed to me at the finish line last year!!!!! It will be fun to run it together this year as husband & wife.
Look soon for pictures!

A little somethin' somthin' from Hudson
I really want this blog to be ours,Team Soma! A place where we can share our thoughts, our encouragement and our struggles together. So please feel welcome to make your very own post. Here is a recent post from Hudson! She just finished the Colfax marathon with an incredible time of 2:03!!!! Way to go girl!!!!! I hope you will send us pictures soon! :0)
From Hudson....
I did it! I just ran my third half marathon! What a great feeling it is to cross that finish line and hear people cheering you on. But the road to that finish line is not always easy. Some days it seems impossible to run one mile, other days I feel like I am ready for the Boston Marathon. To anyone who thinks they can not do it, they can! When Jessie first came to me a few years ago and told me I should run 13.1 miles with her, I thought she was nuts! I could not even run one mile without walking, but we did it! And last weekend I shaved almost 30 minutes off my last half time!
I love runners! We are such an interesting breed. We put ourselves through massive amounts of pain and torture for what? The accomplishment and satisfaction of finishing a race , to lose weight, or just for the fun of it. We are so supportive of each other. I have had complete strangers high five me on a trail or tell me good job after running next to me on a treadmill. I love runners! No matter how hard a run or race was we always go back. It might take a few days to recover but we always have our next run in mind. Don’t ever forget “we run because we can!”
