8K

So sorry it's been so long since I last posted.  Since then, my running buddies and I conquered our first 8K.  It turned out to be such a beautiful night.  I was so worried about running at night and tripping over something that I think that kept me from falling and being my usual clumsy self.  I didn't finish last and I finished!  Here's a photo of some of my running buddies and my coach pre-race.  Guess which one is our coach!  I'm the old lady on the right with the gray hair.  Next week our 10K training program begins.  I have met so many wonderful and inspiring folks through running - I don't know what took me so long to give this a try.  I am so grateful that I stumbled upon the Road Runners web page and registered and then signed up for the beginning women's running program last December.  It has been wonderful experience.  I just don't know what took me so long.  Thank goodness it happened - every day I run has been a fantastic day.
