WE DID IT!!
We had a great morning waking up to an oatmeal breakfast, spot of coffee and water. It was chilly but as we made our way down to monument ave the sun shined and it warmed up quick. Jill and I met up with her neighbors Brita and Eric and we hopped in the huge crowd of 24000+ people. We jumped, stretched and started to get pumped. I wasn't really nervous at all. Then the gun went off and we started running, and running, and running. Brita and Eric are very good runners and they took off - couldn't see them anymore. Jill and I stuck together for a bit and then I lost her turning the bend in the first mile. I thought a lot while I was running. I watched people runinng past me and I got frustrated then laughed at myself but then in mile four I found myself getting frustrated again and running faster - this happened in waves. In the third mile after passing up all water handout until that point I promised myself a cup of water in which I should have practiced because I'm sure I soaked the poor girl handing the first cup out to me - I ran past grabbing, cup slipping out of hand and saying sorry to a girl smiling and saying good luck! ugh... do I dare try for another? OK, grab water - Have you EVER tried to drink and run from a freakin dixie cup??? Water poured down to my running shoes and I gulped air. ugh! third times a charm! Grab water, walk fast and drink, take long sleeve shirt off and wrap around waist and then run! I did it! OK - my focus was back to running. During mile five I thought about my Dad and how strong he was and it was so amazing how intense of a feeling I had that he was there running with us and he was proud. Mile six people on the both sides of the road got thicker and people were cheering loud and even looking into my eyes and I knew my sister had already finished and I couldn't wait to see her, my legs were still moving and I had .2 miles left and then i could see the finish line! I picked up my speed even if it was just to make it over the line and it felt great! I ran 6.2 miles! And just when I was dreading looking for my sister in the crowd, she jumps out of the side lines and slaps my shoulder saying, "YOU DID IT!" We hugged and we were so proud of each other. It was the best feeling! Jill had an awesome race! It won't be my last.

MARCH 31, 2007 I'm registered and I'm going to run my first race with my sister, Jill! Cancer took my Dad's life in 2001 but his smile shines through all of us. I think of him every day and I know he is going to help me train and finish this 10K! We'll also being honoring Jill's husband, Nate, a survivor of Hodgkin's.

Hello Everyone!
This past weekend I ran 6 miles in an hour and 11 mins. (Big relief!) I did two hills so my quads are hurting a bit this morning but other than that I feel great! Couple more of those before the race and my confidence will be sky high! We had awesome running weather this weekend too. Spring is coming! I wanted to thank everyone that has donated so far!
