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

I thought everyone poses like that right before the finish line. I know I am a big dork!! That was fun. I am actually dying to run again. I think I am starting to heal, so I got to get back on track!! That was definatley good times.

GO YOU!!! That's great, I wish you lived out here and I could have a running partner! We should run a race together one day.

We really should Krystine!! Maybe even next time we roll into town we could see if there is one happening that we could do!!!
