We did it!

My friend Wendy and I ran a 5k yesterday!  We have been working towards it since the week of Christmas and yesterday was the race that we had set as our goal.  Wendy has always been better than I at exercising and getting to the gym, but since neither of us were 'runners' prior to starting on this project, we felt pretty good about things. 

Here is a picture of us before the race. 


Here we are after the race with our sweat and swag. 

Ryan was so sweet.  He and his cycling partner, Scott, cut their ride short and showed up at the end of the race to congratulate us. 

Thanks Wendy!  She put up with us being ridiculously early for the race, because of my fear of not getting a parking spot.  She has motivated me for 5 months to keep going and working towards this goal.  And she listens to me vent during our early morning walks.

I secretly envy runners, but I mask it with disdain. I must say.... very impressive!

Woot! Woot! Congratulations to both of you! I hope you stopped and got a blizzard on the way home. I know I would have.

The biggest WOOT goes to Amy as she never stopped running! I on the other hand, did some brisk walking here and there!
