Swiss Days 5K

I did it! I ran my 1st timed 5K, in 28:24.8 to be exact! Not bad for a newbie! I was kind of nervous at the starting line, but then I found Gretchen and we found Nancy and I felt a lot better! The three of us started the race together, we were all in pink it almost looked like we planned it! Thanks Gretch for helping me to start running, you are the best partner a girl could ask for. I would have never done it, if it wasn't for you! I love ya!

When I went by my house all the kids and Gavin were out at the street cheering! I am so lucky to have each one of them in my life. They all came to support me at the finish line too. Mom and Dad drove down and cheered for me also, you would have thought I was running the marathon! (Not in this lifetime, that is for Steph and Tara! Good Luck this weekend girls!) Thanks everyone for your support, it was so much fun. Next year I will be beating Jake and Kallan. I hear Paul will be beating me...we will see about that! I can't wait!
