Bill before the race
Crazy kids

Doing stretches with Daddy
This was taken on top of the hill where the finish line was.
A week later it was my turn. I chose to run in the Women's Fitness 5K. Bill and the kids were there, and later Susan and her kids came to show their support.

At the starting line
This was the most grueling part of the race. We were running on the side of a main road so I spent a good 5-10 minutes being tilted to one side next to the sidewalk, which meant that my right arm was doing all the work.
Crossing the finish line. It was an awesome and emotional few minutes for me when I realized that I had finished and accomplished this goal. I think Bill and I have decided that we're going to try and do this again sometime in the future. If nothing else it was a wake-up call to how out of shape we are and how much we need to exercise and stay healthy. So if you ever need a kick in the pants to get you motivated, make the goal to run a marathon!

You are totally awesome and totally right. Our bodies call out to us and then sometimes we listen. Good job! Great example for your children as well.

Congratulations!! That is SO awesome! And that side slant part was no fair! They should have stopped the traffic and let you go in the middle! Let's do one together sometime! (A good way to finally see each other!!)
