5K!

This morning I awoke at five thirty am in order to accomplish one of the things I have had on my goals sheet for a while. I ran a 5k! Now, the distance isn't that bad, but after those intense hills and of course, running fast, it gets a little tiring! But I finished- pretty well actually! I got FIRST place in my division! I was so excited, it was an amazing feeling!
My time was:
23:09

It felt really amazing to be among the top people to cross the finish line. After I was done, I was able to cheer the rest of my siblings and my mom to the end.

It has been a day that I won't ever forget and the red trophy sitting on my dresser will be a reminder of just how far I have come in such a short time. You see, I hated running when I was younger. But after I began running because I knew it was good for me, I really began to enjoy it. Now, I LOVE it! It is the best exercise for me to clear my head and focus on Christ. It also it such a great workout and a fabulous way to challenge yourself!

I loved this 5k and cannot wait for the next one!

Love,
Miss Bethany
