Okay I have this great friend who challenged me into running. I started probably about 2 years ago, but have not been consistent with it until recently. Since May I've been running 5 days a week; working my way up slowly to the three mile mark. A couple of weeks ago on Facebook someone mentioned a 5k that was happening in our small own town! To top it off it was a fundraiser for a scholarship that was being given out in the name of a very special Coach that passed away in 2008.
I decided that night I was running it! After trying to coax a few friends into running I was ready to do this by myself. However, God is good and provided a friend to run with me! SO glad she did ~ not sure I could have made it on my own.

Our post-race picture! Still smiling! *wink* Glistening a little more. *grin*
It was a great time! We even finished in better time than I run at home. Looking forward to doing this again!
So that is why you are so awesome looking! It's the running! Way to go ladies! You are inspiring me! I got on the scales this morning and had lost 2 pds. I wonder if it's because I am venturing into jogging?! I must keep on so I can be as hot as you two ladies!
