My FIRST 5K!





So when Caleb was a few months old and I had all this time sitting around nursing all day, I had kind of had a revelation of my life...don't worry I won't go into details, but one thing I realized was that I never truly set goals for myself and accomplished them. I'd set goals and quit or never set goals cause I never thought I was good enough at anything to finish (single tear). But I began to realize that I can do anything as long as I give it to the Lord and honor Him through it! So I decided to set a small goal of running a 5k. Well as I began to train and get ready to sign up for a run I found out I was pregnant with Jack. Then after I had Jack I decided to wait till he slept through the night so that I had enough energy through out the day to train. Well it took him 7 months to sleep through the night and so I began running in June. Needless to say Sue Dudley and I ran the "Turning Point Kinectic Run" at the Ventura Harbor This morning, Even though I had only slept 4 hours and am still fighting a horrible cold. God is Good! I was able to finish and beat my own time. I had an absolute blast and am so grateful that Sue, John, my boys, and Scott were able to be there with me! I cannot wait to watch God help me accomplish my next goal...LOOK OUT 10K!
