It's been a crazy few weeks but I'm so proud to say that on Friday, April 26th I ran my first 5K race and raised over $800 for Crisis Nursery! Thanks so much to everyone who made a donation and supported my effort. I finished the race in 38:24 and beat my personal record by over 5 minutes! It was an amazing experience to run with my mom, sister, daughter and sister-in-law...Go Red ladies Tanna, Lori & Sheree...the Crisis Nursery Miles for Smiles team...and some of the Illini cheerleaders. I'm so proud of all of us and especially proud of myself for accomplishing a goal I wasn't sure I would be able to complete. When I think back to where I was 6 months ago, this never would have been a possibility. I think all the Go Red ladies agreed, this wasn't something we could have done prior to taking our 12 week challenge. Way to go ladies and thanks for the push to complete this 5K together...it's a memory I will cherish and hopefully we can all continue to find our best self in each week and keep pushing towards our goals.
