So...I DID IT!! I just completed my first 5K!! Woo-hoo!!
Nate and a friend from school set-up a 5K race to help benefit patients who can not afford dental care. They got sponsors...had official everything...and for their first race...had 250-300 participants!
My friend, Natalie, and I decided that we wanted to join in on the fun...and since we are becoming "RUNNERS" ha ha...we thought it would be a great place to start! Our first 5K! SO we did it...and we feel great! The course was a little crazy...and we had 30 MPH head winds...ha ha...but we did it! That's what matters! I think my favorite part...was having Bella, Nate, and Sophie cheering me on! YEAH!!
We have been running quite a bit and are now certain that we are going to run MORE RACES! Our goal... a HALF-MARATHON this fall! We decided that this year...RUNNING RACES...was going to be our thing! WOO-HOO! Here's to a year of running!

Way to go Stacie, awesome job!:) We will have to start a running blog to show our progress.
Good for you! That is awesome that you did it and you are planning to do a half. Good luck!
I would love to pick up running but I am SOOOOOO slow I think my kids would pass me. Oh well, I guess running is not for everyone :)

That's awesome! I don't think I could ever run that far, I HATE running!
Are your results posted on the miles for smiles website? I am interested to know your time. Since I am thinking of running one myself. I don't know where to begin. Ha ha! Thanks for your help.

Don't know who you are. And it's not...Miles for Smiles...it is Miles for Better Smiles. Let me know who you are and I can help you out. Thanks
I agree, that little girl is not old enough to go to any kind of school yet!!! And congrats to Nate on the marathon, he's so ambitious, but even MORE congrats to YOU for actually running it!!! WHEN DO YOU FIND TIME TO RUN??? Do you run with the Bob?
