Accomplishment

I will be writing a longer post than this tomorrow (when I feel normal again, haha) but I wanted to update my readers who are anticipating the results of today's Hot Chocolate 5K.

I ran the whole thing.
My time was 39:44.

I cried at the finish line, but not because I was in pain.

More to come later... with pictures!

Have I told you about Andrea?

This picture is from high school, but I will always love it!

For those of you who don’t know, I have a friend named Andrea who runs way more than I do. She has always been there for me and she has been helping to keep me motivated about the whole running thing.

Well, yesterday we went out for some training, and I’m happy to report that I ran for 20 minutes of our workout time! I feel like that’s more than I have ever been able to do on by own, and I know it’s with her help I was able to do it. When I would start to get tired, Andrea would shout, “30 more seconds!”, and for some reason that kept me going!

((My knee is still a problem, and I am still working on a solution, but I tried my best to push through it yesterday and I’m super proud of myself!))

Saturday is quickly approaching and I’m feeling much better about my capabilities. Thankfully, I will have my favorite trainer (Andrea) running alongside of me.

I appreciate all your help girl! Love you!
