Now who would have thought you'd see this on my blog??? Nope, me neither. My friend, Amber evidently thought I could and had confidence in me!! I admit I had my doubts in the weeks leading up to the race, but I hung in there and walked daily in preperation for the big day. It wasnt the distance that bothered me, it was the time frame I had to do it in. I honestly wasn't as nervous as I thought I was going to be when i got there. John and I arrived nice and early he kept cheering me on. Waiting is not my strong suit, I just wanted to get on with it. Once the gun went off or the whistle blew, we were off!!!! It wasnt 5 seconds and I was knocking people out of my way cause they wanted to stop and high five Minnie!!!! I'm here to race, get the heck out of my way!!!!! So here's a few shots from the day, and Amber, thank you for getting me involved. It was a big deal for this old lady to do the race, and most importantly.....I got the Bling!!!!!




Here is Amber and I picking up our packets the day before.


Just hanging out waiting for things to get going.





An early riser I'm not....notice how dark it is!!!
