5k Run and my 10k

Last weekend my friend Tammie and I ran a 10k here in Rexburg! We started running together a few months ago and decided it was a good idea to work towards something. Last year I did a few 5ks and I thought this year it would be a good idea to push myself a little harder. We trained really hard for a month or two and I was very proud of us for the time we got on the actual day of the run. We didn't even get last place! :) We have decided to continue on with our running and getting in shape. It has been really fun to have a partner to do it with and have someone motivate me. I am not really a self motivated person most of the time! :)

I heard from my friend Melissa about a little boy they know who was disgnosed with Leaukemia last week and there is a 5k fun run already set up in his name. We are going to do it and we have gotten our kids involved as well! There isn't any greater feeling that doing something to help people in your community! Anyone and everyone should sign up to run, it is for a great cause!!!

Nicely done, Lisa! That's just plain amazing that you can do that.

I read about that little boy in the paper today. It is heartbreaking to think of a child having to go through that. You are such a GREAT person. I am so thankful for your thoughtfulness in my behalf and in the behalf of others! YOU ROCK!!
