(I look so tired... and this is before the race!)I get ready for my Memorial Day Celebration and it is Thundering and Lightning... not a good sign for what I had planned for the day!
I am VERY VERY VERY proud of myself. I find that I am saying that a lot about myself lately, and it feels very good. I Ran my first 5K in Dacula, GA... and it was not too bad.
I ran it with Some of Simons family. His Uncle Timmy runs ALL the time, in every race, and in any weather; We kept teasing him for his autograph since he knows tons of people who run and most of the time places in top 10.
(L-R: Jay, Tanya, Me, Trav, Gina, Jordan, Timmy)
I must say I am NOT a runner, I have only been training since March for this Mud Run in September (A 4.8 mile run in the mud with Obstacles with a team of 4 :Tanya, Gina, Lily, and Myself are on team "Medic Please" lol).
I finished the race in 35:12:5 minutes (a little over 11 minutes a mile), and placed #395 overall out of 506 runners, obviously not the best but I DID IT!!!! What a great feeling... And I got a Race t-shirt to prove it!
(Even though it was 2 sizes too big.... you better believe I will still wear it!!!)
After the race I went to my parentals neighborhood Memorial Day pool party. I hung out with Jennifer (sis-in-law) all day at the pool... such a fun time. She makes me laugh!After, I went to the Gwinnett Braves Game with Simon, his parents, and Olivia and her boyfriend Kyle.

Our friend Brandon that plays in AAA for the Pirates team was playing. We always try and go to his games, he and Simon are still good friends. its really cool to say I know someone who use to play Pro ball.

The game eventually got rained out... =(... but before it did, Brandon hit a HOMERUN at his first at bat on his first pitch! Way to go B!!!!
We got our tickets switched from the rained out game to Thursday, it should be fun!!!
What a GREAT Memorial Day!!!!
