I Did It !

On Saturday, July 14th, I participated in my first 5K race!

What a fine thing it is to set a goal

and work to attain it.

Hard to explain.

But 

powerful

in my mind.

Details:

Venue: Henning, MN Plozine Run/Walk

Fuel: bagel, peanut butter, honey, banana slices

Strategy: walk/run, repeating as needed

Time: 40:49

The chip on my shoe!

MY number, 37, held with four safety-pins.

[How's that for a contrast in technology?!!!]

          . . . . .
Running next to lawn sprinklers along the way.
Being out in the country under the sky . . . greetings from crows and cardinals.

My power-walking sister-in-law, Faith, cheering me on! 

"Go, Girl!"

[She improved her time over her first race, last year!]

Seeing Colleen and Faith as I reached the finish line . . .  and knowing, I DID IT!

Thank YOU

and for helpful 

suggestions!
