This is long overdue! Back in February I ran my first 5k race with my friend Tawna and her husband Erik. Tawna is the one that got me into running. I knew that I would be slow, but wanted to finish the race without walking. I was so excited! Although I came in 444th place, I met my goal and ran the entire way (very slowly, to where speed walkers would pass me!). As I was getting close to the finish line, Tawna came back and ran with me. She motivated me to run as fast as I could to the end. I was surprised that I could go any faster, but was able to for a very short distance. It was a wonderful experience and I met some great people that day. I will hopefully be able to run farther, but for now, I will just keep trying!
Eric met me at the finish line! He had been there to support me the whole time! It made me feel so good to have him there and for his support! And it was freezing outside! What a great husband!
