Rebecca's soccer team has begun weekly conditioning workouts, so she began her own daily workouts including 1-mile runs. To keep her motivated, she entered some running races around San Diego. Her first ever race took place on April 2, 2005. She had only been running for a week, so her showing was quite good at 8 min 15 secs. She tried to pace herself, so ended up having too much energy still at the end. But it was exciting watching her fly past a number of racers just before the finish line!!

| Crossing the Finish Line |
Rebecca participated in this run in Balboa Park. She got a 7:30 (unofficial) time, but it was challenging because she was having to dodge banners, walkers, dogs, baby carriages as well as walkers from the previous race. This truly was a fun run, so it was difficult to really run your best time. Nice, though, because everyone got medals as well as a book (& her brother participated too!!) |

Turns out there were more walkers than runners in this one since there weren't any prizes for best times, but Rebecca did run for a time (just with little competition). There was a nice family picnic afterward (see pix). |

Both Christopher & Rebecca ran in this race. They combined all kids (boys & girls; ages to 12) together; Rebecca came in 4th overall. She got to take home a beautiful Adidas duffle bag (see pix). |

This was a tougher race: a cross country / hill course. All kids (boys & girls; ages to 12) ran together; however, Rebecca came in 5th overall of the girls (see pix). |
