Today I ran my first ever 5K Run - one that was put on to benefit the local Girl Scouts. I have been inspired by Jocelyn who has chosen as her Senior Project to prepare for a Marathon as well as to organize a local race to benefit the Mexico Mission Team she hopes to be part of in August 2011. I've only practiced for about 6 weeks & up until today have survived a one mile run. Well, my body is telling me I've pushed it to it's limit. My time was 34 min. 1 sec. - I know for you avid runners out there that's nothing to brag about but my goal was to finish and not be last. I definitely accomplished that as there were many people who finished behind me. I'll keep this post short as I'm really lacking in energy - I'm going to join Hannah in the hot tub to soothe my aching bones...

Wow, I'm very impressed, Corrie! Way to go! That was always my "dream" to run, but I never give myself the extra push to run that far! It always helps to have someone to push you. Congratulations!

Excellent,Corrie! I am sure I couldn't do it, nor would it be wise at this point. I would have to start all over with my program in gaining. It's not worth it!
Congratulations!!
