I DID IT!!!

I officially completed my first 5K!  I ran/walked the Get In Gear 5K in Minneapolis on Saturday, April 30th.  I am so excited to be able to check something off my bucket list.  I have wanted to do a 5K for the last couple years, but never had the guts to follow through.  Well, this year in MOPS a group formed for people who would like to participate in running, 5K's, and so on.  I took the plunge and signed up.  I believe there were 12 of us who participated in the GIG event, but many more who joined the group.  It is so nice to have fellow moms encourage and inspire me to accomplish my goal.  Now since I did not run the entire thing, I am planning to do a couple more to truly accomplish my goal.  BUT, for now I feel exhilarated to have finished my first "race" and had fun while doing it!  Stay tuned to see when my next opportunity will arise!
