On Saturday I finished a 5K!!!! I was so proud of myself. I will not tell you how long it took me, but I finished and I ran/jogged the WHOLE way.. well... almost. I walked once or twice for a minute. I didn't want to throw up on the trail :) Annie was such a trooper and stayed with me to motivate me to keep running. She could have ran circles around me and finished 20 minutes faster than we did, but I am so grateful that she stuck it out with me! I couldn't have done it without you Annie!!! You are the best... thank you so much for being my motivational coach!!! Jed kept up with Ben the whole time too.. I am so proud of you!! I thought for sure that he would struggle since we started running about a week before the race, but he did awesome! And my mom just took off and left me in the dust! She finished 5 minutes before Annie and I did. This was a huge accomplishment for me, and I am excited to run in Mikes Mad Dash (Sign up everyone!!! It's only a 5K and its for a great cause! Let me know if you need info on it-- Annie is on the panel putting it on) and HOPEFULLY cut quite a bit of time off my current time.

The 5K Crew- Ben, Annie, Jed, Me and my mom. Annie won a Toys-R-Us gift card just for running in the race! That girl has the best luck! :)
In other news-- our house is coming right along! All the dry wall is up and textured and they are starting tile today. Jed and I can't wait to move in!!!!
Jed wasn't happy about taking this picture, but this is the first picture of the two of us in our almost completed house.... We are sooo excited!!!
