Accomplishments



A lot has happened in the last couple weeks, and I only know about the highlights for a few of our team members. Please add your stories too!!

First of all, Pat and Allison ran the Marine Corps Historic Half in Fredericksburg, VA on May 18th!! This was Pat's longest race to date, and the second time Allison has completed a 1/2 marathon. They were AWESOME!! The weather cooperated nicely for running, with even a slight drizzle as they climbed the huge hill around mile 11. I thoroughly enjoyed watching and cheering with the crowds of people and marveling at the incredible endurance of the runners. They may not like the fact that I'm posting this, but I'm just really proud of them... so here's a video that I accidentally shot instead of taking a still photo.


As for me, I ran my first official 5K on May 25th, and think that I've officially caught the running bug. I actually heard myself tell someone yesterday that I'm starting to like running... gasp! I never would have thought I'd see the day!

Yesterday Joshua and I were talking about how impressive it is that you have taken up running, Carrie. It's really awesome!

Thanks for posting the pictures and the video.
