My first 5K!


I ran a 5K yesterday! Here's me with my friends Sandy and Kelley.

I didn't know I enjoyed running till I ran with my sister last month. And when my friend Kelley told me about the 5k on Thursday morning, I thought I'd give it a try! Without training for it, I didn't go fast, but I did complete it, and ran better than I have done before. Now I'm waiting for the next one!

It's really fun to try something new and have a new thing to enjoy!

Way to go! Quite an accomplishment for a new runner! You look great!

I am praying for your friend's daughter Karis. (I love that name but Josiah doesn't, otherwise we might have ended up with a Karis someday!) I read her blog via Kristin's.

That's awesome, Heather! You inspire me and make me feel encouraged about the 5K I'm running in Duluth on April 17th! It's my first one too! I started running last summer and have really started enjoying it. I am not fast, by any means, but I've been able to build endurance and go farther than I've ever been able to go in the past. I'm a little nervous about running my first race but I signed up for it and so I'm now committed! :)
