WE DID IT!!!

 We did it...we did it (insert annoying Dora song here)!!!  A few weeks ago I got a wild hair and decided I was sick of NOT working out.  SOOOO what do I do??...YEP...I signed up for a 5K.  WHAT???  If you know me well, you are laughing and pointing I KNOW.  But I had TALKED about running one and decided to JUST DO IT!!!  SO I signed up KNOWING that I would have to walk most of it. I woke up the next morning, put on my running shoes, and made it about a half mile.  AND I was ok with that.  Then I decided to push myself and got a little further each day.  THEN I got a sinus infection and gave up for about a week.  THEN I talked Amy into signing up with me and we decided to walk/run it together. 
Saturday morning we headed to Clover Island and met up with EVERYBODY else who was there to run.  There were some DIE HARDS, some OLDIES, some KIDS, and some really annoying drummers.  We started at THE CABLE BRIDGE...
 ran over to the BLUE BRIDGE...
 and then back again.  And you know what???? WE MADE IT.  3.1 miles of jogging....ACCOMPLISHED!!!! We got beat by a LOT of little kids, old people, and some super skinny people in tiny shorts....BUT WE RAN IT----35 minutes!!!  We may not be quick, but we AMAZING...well if you ask me:)  I am super proud of us and cannot wait to beat our time next time....YEP I said NEXT TIME!!!
