I did it! I actually did it!







Today was my inagural run! And I'm happy to say that I finished with a good time (for me) and was able to run the entire 5 miles without walking!!! Now mind you, I started running in January at the urge of my friend Angie- I had NO intention of actually running a race but just to quiet her up I decided to start training (that was said with love :). When I did start, I could only run 30 seconds and then had to walk 2 minutes (Couch to 5K program). Today I ran an entire hour and 5 minutes without walking!!! I have NEVER been so proud of myself- ok, maybe after I gave birth, but really- I worked hard for this. And my boys have been SO supportive of me. Thank you for putting up with my whining, and time away running with Ang. I felt like I could do anything and I weathered the storm~ Praise GOD!!!!
