Running!

Saturday was the Berry 1/2 Marathon, 10K, and 5K. This is our annual fundraiser for the school and it is oh so much fun. Brady, Tim, Vicki, and I all participated in the race and we all finished! Woo hoo! The weather was nice and everyone seemed to have fun. Here are some pictures!



Here I am at registration. I had to BE there at 5:30! Fun! Do you have any idea how dark it is at Berry at 5:30 in the morning? Really, really, dark!

Here we are right before the race.. I'm cold and nervous... and I have a double chin. What is up with that? Is the gravitational pull at Berry somehow different? Do I really have a double chin in real life? I can' t lose any more weight for heaven's sake! Sorry, I digress...

And we're off! Vicki is walking with a purpose and I'm starting a slow jog! My only goal was to finish without stopping to walk. I wanted to run the entire way. I did it! A huge accomplishment for an asthmatic person who wakes up out of breath every day! Vicki walked/ran and did very well!

Here is Brady running! Go Brady! He had lots of fun as well.

Overall, it was a great day. Everyone stepped out of their comfort zone, tried something new and experienced great success! That's what life's all about!

Next year... the 10K!
