Before...
During...
After...
I ran the Iron Girl 5K, yesterday! It was so fun and I was so proud of myself for doing it and achieving my goal of
running the entire thing! Granted, I was running so slow there were little 6 year old girls and walkers passing me, but I didn't care. I did what I had to to keep on running! This was the 3rd race/run I've ever done, but the first one I've done by myself. Kim and some of her friends that were planning on doing it were not able to, at the last minute. I had already registered and I really wanted to do it, anyway. It took quite a bit of planning... Bryan had to work, Gavin had his first baseball game, and Trevor had his first soccer game! Thankfully, I was able to recruit the help of my mom and my in-laws. My mom drove me down there, held my stuff, and cheered me on. (I told her that if she didn't go with me, I wasn't going to do it! Ha!) Linda spent the night Friday night, in order to be with the kids in the early morning, and John took Gavin to his baseball game! The last piece of the puzzle is that I was able to hook up with Susie and her friends, so I didn't feel quite so alone. It was a great (exhausting) day! Thank you to everyone who made this day possible for me!

Good for you sis, I am proud of you!!! I really wish I could have been there with you...just a thought, the Seattle Marathon is doing a 5k event this year on saturday the 28or29ish...if you aren't in Cali...just a thought...let me know. I am going to do it since I am not in the mood to train for the half;-)
p.s. I love the shirt! I always wear my race shirts for like a week after i get them, it is such a wonderful accomplishment, so you go ahead and wear it whereever you want!!!
No, no Cali for us this year. :( I will consider the Seattle Marathon 5k. You know me, if I don't have a goal, I don't run. ;) Side note: Apparently my cousin (Yasmine's dad) is coming out for thanksgiving and will be running the Seattle Marathon! Re: the shirt: Trevor asked me yesterday if I'm going to wear it everyday!? I said, "First of all, I just got it yesterday... And, yes, i am going to wear it everyday!"
WOW!!!!! What an accomplishment, I am so impressed! You look great by the way!
Oh my word! That is awesome! Good for you!!! Wear the shirt all year if you want :)
Thanks, everyone!
