I cannot believe these words are coming out of MY mouth!

...but I did my first mini-marathon! Some girlfriends of mine are beyond impressive with their running/athletic skills and although I love to exercise I'm not as much the "go getter" as they are! It was a 6-mile course...nothing too impressive, I know :)

A few months back they asked if I would join their team for a mini-marathon and I thought what a great idea to get some motivation to get my tooshie back into shape! After a about 2 months of training a couple times a week with my girlfriend and "coach", Jessie, & some other girlfriends I was stoked to put that practice into work :) Jessie, I love that girl, she is the best coach ever! She was just the right balance for me to get my act together! And this past Saturday, Braden & I, along with some friends did it! My girlfriend & I power walked it while the others ran/jogged it. I'm proud to say that my friend Heather was the 1st place winner! Yeah Heather :) That girl can run; she ran it in 49 minutes!! Tara & I power walked it in 1hr 15min.

It was awesome and I LOVED that we were able to take the kiddos! Last, but definitely not least this went towards a great cause to provide research for premature babies.
