10k update & Walk to Remember

As seen in a post last year this run is very special to me...
This year I made it even more so; this was the year and the run that I completed a goal -
to run a 10k.

Waiting for start time
I had a really great run, passed the 5k split and continued on without a second thought. I knew that The Fireguy was waiting for me at the finsish line and was surprised by my dear daughter who showed up!! The two of them met me twice during the run to cheer and give me words of encouragement and support.


Still smiling!! I finished with a time of 1:07:43 ~ More than happy with this!! Now on to training for a half marathon...

New goal, 13.1 miles before I turn 50!!!

It has been one year since our community lost a brave citizen, Father, Son, Brother & Husband. Bryan's sister & parents organized an annual event for ALL service men & women who have lost their lives serving our Country. The plan was to get at least 100 people to walk, however it ended up with almost 700!!! It was a fantastic show of support and a wonderful day...
