I was inspired by a late night get-away at the bookstore. From the Runner's World Complete Book of Beginning Running:
"Don't be embarrassed by your running. You might think you look slow and awkward. Slower than who? The two-thirds of all Americans who don't exercise at all? The 95 percent who couldn't run a mile without stopping? As a slow runner, you're still the cream of the crop."
So now I'm registered for my first 5K. Here goes nothing!

You GO GIRL! I'm right behind you. Okay. Maybe not RIGHT behind you, but within a mile or two. Dad and I are still both in shock that Miriam is running in a race!
AWESOME!! I love the quote, it is SO TRUE. You are absolutely creamy in my book (yes that's a compliment).
If all else fails, at least you can have fun in the moon bounce!
You'll do great, wish I was there to cheer you on...
