I reached my next goal! I placed in the top three in my age group in a 5k race. I placed second actually! (I can hardly believe it.) My best friend Tara and I ran a race at a the local Celtic festival last night. It was a great run. And the festival was a good time too. I felt really good when I was running. Just a little winded as I haven't been back to training for long. But that is okay- I made it. Final time = 27:58. Down 42 seconds from my last 5k. When my name was called I was totally shocked to hear it. I really couldn't tell where I was in the pack during the run. I did get a little teary eyed as I accepted my silver medal so I was glad to have my shades on.... or rather Grace's shades on. Anyway- I have to set a new goal now. I didn't expect to reach that one so soon. Hmmmmm. I'll have to get back to you. For now I am just super happy. Peace out!

My shades look hot on you! Props on placing! I sent that picture to all my friends and a few total strangers. We are all so proud.
Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
- Muhammad Ali
Saw this and thought of you....
