MY FIRST 10K !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finished my first race!!! My first 10k!!! I am so verrryyy proud of myself and everyone in the Marathon Makeover!!! I remember Mark saying "Marathoners can do anything they set their mind to". Well I set my mind to run down the mud trail and around the corn field. The only hindrance I had was those wonderful (sarcastic) Sweet Gum Balls! The run through the woods was interesting. As I was running it made me think about how I gave up my early morning Saturday fishing trips to become a Marathoner. I wished for a fishing line and a five gallon bucket when I passed the creek!!! The next thing I knew, I was in a corn field! Oh, and the field of purple flowers was beautiful. When I hit pavemnent again there was a cool breeze! When I saw that finish line, it was as if I had accomplished going to the moon and back! It was also great having one of my brother's and my two neices at the finish line. ( I borrowed Amy's cheerleaders!) What a wonderful day! I wonder if I framed my #273 put it on my Mother's mantle on Mother's Day, would it become a conversation piece? TODAY WAS GREAT!!!! THANK YOU, GOD!
