Hooray for Me!
Yesterday, I ran my first 5K! My time was really slow, but I was proud of myself for doing it. I've wanted to run in races for years, but I've just never done it. I've never been a runner, and (let's face it) I'm not in the greatest shape. This year, I just decided to go ahead and register. I put aside the fact that I hadn't trained and figured if I went ahead and signed up that I would have to do it! I'm glad I did because I loved it! The energy of the race day atmosphere was really exciting. I'm really proud to have accomplished my first 5K and I'm excited to run another one soon. I'm planning to build my way up to mini triathlons and a 1/2 marathon. Wish me luck!

Good for you, Becky! I am so excited for you! I am running my first 5K in April...the Redbud. And, I am going to run the 5K leg of the relay with some girls from church at the Memorial. I am loving it! I never thought I would be a runner! I am thinking it will be my new hobby in St. Louis! :)
I am proud of you Becky! I think I got roped into the 1/2 marathon with you in May.....yikes! That scares me to death, but you have given me hope! We'll see how it goes.....Hope I don't chicken out :)
That is truly an accomplishment Becky!
