What's That You Say.....5K?

Okay, so all of you that grew up with me or knew me growing up are chuckling to yourselves at the thought of me, Stephanie, running a 5K!! Well, all I have to say is na, na, na-na, na!!! :) Sorry, had to do it! That's right...Drew, Ashlie, and I ran the race and Mark did a great job walking the 5K pushing a double-stroller with two three-year olds in it (I have pushed that stroller,not an easy feat, I must say). Drew and I have been passing out the medals at the Pat Kellerman event for the past three years because Smith Dist. sponsors it every year. Last year I told him that I felt unworthy of giving all of these people their medals when I haven't done a thing!!! So, we vowed to make it a goal of ours to run it this year. I was so nervous the morning of I think I could have thrown up. We have been training, but ever since I got strep throat my training hasn't gone the best. I was definitely not feeling confident in my ability to finish this race. The morning was a little chilly, but perfect for running. It was overcast and just 'my type of day'! I am happy to report that all four of us finished WITHOUT STOPPING!!!! None of us quit running during the entire race. I am so proud of all of us. And in the words of Ashlie Brining, "Crap, now I know I can do it....that means I have to do it again!" Until next year......

Before the race....can you see the panic in my eyes? :)
