2 Weeks and the 5K

2 weeks from today is going to be, what I perdict, the biggest day of my life. I have a ton of things to do and get yet but I am waiting for my Mom to come so that she may be part of it. She'll be here a week from Monday. I also only have 4 working days left until Labor Day - that sounds so cool!! Money of course is running tight but we'll deal. And if I hear Joe's Dad tell me one more time that I am wasting my money I think I will kill him!!!! It's my party and I'll do what I want to!!

I completed the Bushwacker 5K today, as a walker, in 52 minutes! It is the only the second time I have done a 5K and I shaved 2 minutes off of my time. I am proud of myself! I'm also very proud of my friend Laura, who ran it in a little over 37 minutes. She's come along way in her personal fitness. She's lost like 40 pounds and looks wonderful! I'm so proud of her!!

On a sad note we had a supervisor at work pass away. He was the same age as my Mom and that really scares me. I can't even comprehend what would happen if my Mother passed at such a young age! I don't want to think anymore on that.

Got to go - Wedding stuff to do!

Congrats on the 5K! I started running in them less than a year ago and love them. I'm looking for a 10K next.

I think you and Laura are doing great! I really enjoyed running in the 5k races (when I was younger and lighter). I used to run one every weekend and had quite a few shirts!
