Our first 5K!

Saturday morning Scott, Brayden, and I participated in our first ever 5K run! I am so proud of Brayden. I wish I could report that he ran the entire 3+ miles, but I would be lying. He did run for the entire first mile - which I think totally rocks....we did a good bit of walking in the middle...and then he picked it back up to finish the run - which I think totally rocks!

This was a first for me too. I loved it. I never understood why on Earth people would run anywhere on purpose. Now I think I understand. I feel GREAT! I woke up at 4 AM thanks to a migraine that decided to invade my brain. I was moving incredibly slowly, but knew I had to do the run because I felt like Brayden and Scott were counting on me. I took some prescription stuff for my head and off we went. And like I said, I feel great! I can hardly wait until our next 5K. (Note to self - google 5K runs in Nashville later.)

For those of you in the Nashville area, they are planning to make this a quarterly event at Riverwalk. Today's run was to benefit the Steve Thomas family. Steve was diagnosed with leukemia last fall. The planning committee hopes to find others to benefit with each event. For more information, please visit http://www.heartsontheharpeth.com/. :-)

Here are some pictures from the FINISH LINE! Grammy was sweet enough to come up and keep Brody while we ran and play photographer at the end! Scott finished before Brayden and I, but I am proud to say that Brayden and I finished in about 40 minutes!
