A few months ago I was really ready to start running, but had never got around to it. Every night when I went to bed I would think, ok, tomorrow morning I am getting up early and going for a jog. Well, weeks and months went by and I never got up early, so I never went for that jog. Then Gretchen and I became running partners! It was the best thing that ever happened, now I have to get out of bed! We have been running 3 days a week for month now. I am feeling a lot better about myself, my blood pressure has gone down a bit and I ran the whole way in my first 5k! Landon and Cam rode their bikes and loved collecting all the glow sticks runners would drop along the way. I just loved the finish line, and the feeling of accomplishment I had. Can't wait for the next one! I am also looking forward to the day I can go to the pool and not have to wear shorts, because I have "runner" legs!! That will be sweet!

Lainee, I'm so happy you enjoy it! It really does make you feel so much better and is such a good start to the day. I wish you would've started four years ago when I tried to get you to do it! I'm sure you'll get your runner's legs real soon - me on the other hand....still waiting.
You already have runner's legs! Next year I'll have to run with you guys for sure...or walk it with my mom...the part she did walk. :)
p.s. I can't believe your boys made it up that late!
Go go Girls!!
You are the BEST running partner!! I am so glad you are there to help me stay motivated!! Your legs are great to weat without shorts Right Now!! You are just too hard on yourself!! Thanks for the good times!!
