There's a resemblance, no?

(Actually, this photo is particularly dorky since it was taken immediately after I was pushing my mom toward the finish line. We didn't look so bad the whole time.) But yes, my MOM and I ran a 10K this weekend, the first for both of us.

It was a gorgeous day for the Bolder Dash 5K and 10K, a fundraiser for local nonprofit Bolder Options. It's a Big-Brothers-Big-Sisters-esque mentoring program for at-risk youth between 10 and 14, and in addition to hanging out and doing homework with mentors, the mentor-youth pairs also train for running or cycling races throughout the year.

I'm still feeling out how much outside-of-school time I'll have for, like, LIFE, but mentoring is definitely something I'd be interested in doing. But then, of course, I have to stay in 10K or better shape all the time. Hmm...
