I have always wanted to be a runner, I just have admired how dedicated runners are, and lets face it they have the best physique. But, the gasping for air , the feeling of throwing up and the pain of not being able to keep up with others has always stopped me.
My friend Mimi ask me to go running with her and April, I tagged along praying I could keep up with them. Well, the experience was awesome! Yes, the running was great. But talking and laughing as we ran made the whole running experience actually FUN!
April and I (Mimi sat out because of a foot injury) ran our first 15K yesterday and it was a great experience to accomplish a goal I have set out to do for a long time now.We ran a a pretty even pace of 11:20 min miles and finished the race happy.

Way to go! How fun to run it with so many friends! You look great, Jennifer...but you deserve to look great because you always seem so diligent with your exercise/eating. Good Job!
Woo Hoo!! Yay for you, I can totally relate to all the reasons you listed about reasons not to run but I can also relate to the feeling of accomplishment. And don't you feel like you're defying your age? I'm running a 1/2 marathon in Nov., my first, and I'm getting a little nervous! yikes!!
Aw, look at those HAWT MAMAS! Way to go, and what a nice morning for it, couldn't have asked for better weather. I was thinking about you girls as I was at the soccer park cheering Aidan on. Next year, I hope to be able to do this race, pray for me and my foot.
