my first 5K & hopefully not my last

My friend Maria & I wanted to see what it was like to run

a 5k and I have to admit it can get a little addicting...so this picture above absolutely killed me when i saw it! who poses right before crossing the finish line?? only my good friend maria ~ gotta love her!!

I haven't been running for very long & so I was quite proud of myself when I found out days later that I had placed 5th in my age category (yes, i know i am old) out of 51 women and got this little ribbon in the mail. (go me!!)

joe & the kids were there at the end to cheer us on and take pictures.

thanks maria for the fun times

the biggest contradiction

Today I squealed with delight after finding out that I am no longer considered pg!
(yep, that's right ~ exactly 6 months later!)
