First 5K!! And other stuff....

That's right folks, you can now add runner to the adjectives to describe me! You can also add that to the list of things people told me I would never do. Don't you just love it when people tell you that you can't do something...OOO that just makes me want to do it more just to prove them wrong! I can't stand it.

Anyways.... I trained for 2 weeks....I know...it wasn't very long. Not to mention 5 of those days I was out of town and probably ate like I had never seen food before  And I am not going to sit here and say I ran the whole 3.2 miles....because I didn't. But I did run the first mile then I had to stop, run, stop, run till the end. I said to myself...."self, if you finish this in 45min you did darn good" HA!! I did better the THAT!! I finished in 41min!! Last in my age group, last in my group over all (my counter parts finished 10-15min before me) but I just dont care. I finished. Oh and there was a hill....it was a big hill. I have to hand it the Wynnton Methodist. This thing was well planed and organized. Totally thankful for the free food and drink afterward and the free goodies in my bag. Also thankfull to have great friends/coworkers cheering me on at the finish line. So lucky I have coworkers that I can also call friends.

Also want to take some time to mention the loss of Eric's PopPop. Although he was 84 you would have never guessed or known. He was active, he traveled, drove, volunteered, had a spotless house and a perfectly cut yard. He lived a  full life till the end. He left this world how we would all hope we would, and for that I can't be sad. He didn't have to suffer, or be dependent on anyone.  We all deserve that.

Thats all for now! Hope everyone has a good week!
