The 5k wrap up

I'm not a "runner"- even my mother admitted as much.

The ladies in our group all had varying goals: a couple had times they wanted to beat, one lady was proudly walking the course a year to the date after her hip  replacement surgery and there I was

I JUST WANTED TO RUN WITHOUT STOPPING.

Thirty nine minutes after I started, I crossed that finish line having accomplished that goal with my family and friends cheering me on. Sweet indeed!

The girl I would have never done this without - Amanda, my walking/running buddy for the past ten months!!
Her long legs and determination beat me by two minutes!

There are more great pictures to share as soon as I get them uploaded. '
