I Did It!
Can you spot me? I'm near the back, although I did place 30,314th or something...
Many, many thanks to my mom for running alongside me like a Jack Russell Terrier, full of positive energy and enthusiasm. Many thanks, too, to Femie for training with me (almost) every Thursday night. Thanks to all those, especially Granna & Poppa, who looked after Piper on my training nights, and to Mary who took them both while I ran in the afternoon. Thanks to Poppa for looking after Jacob & Piper the big morning of. Maybe next year you can come down and cheer me on. (Now that I know I won't be dying on the sidelines somewhere...)
Never in a million years did I think I would run a 10k. I haven't run more than a 1/2 a block since high school! It has been a wonderful experience. The best part by far, is that I can play tag with Jacob for 45 minutes without loosing my breath or begging him to play a new game. That is what makes all the time away worthwhile. And that is what will keep me running.

Good for you!! I've always wanted to take up running but can never get past the "Oh no, I can't catch my breath, I'm going to throw up" feeling that I get after about, oh a few steps or so. :-) Seriously, great job!
Yaaayyyy Carolyn!!! I am so impressed and inspired - not only by the Sun Run, but that you can keep up with Jacob for 45 minutes. That's no small feat either ;-)
