Yesterday marked Island Girl's first big accomplishment in a very long time. Yesterday I completed my first 5k run -without stopping for even a second, and in fact I even past some very physically fit people. I understand that this may not be much to the experienced runners out there, but to me it's huge! I guess I should state that I would not have been able to do this a year or even six months ago; but alas I can now mark this off my list of things to do in 2008. I would say mark it off of my life goals, but the life goal list consists of either a 1/2 or full marathon, which we're not close to as yet :)
Not ony was the race fun, but it was for a great cause, the Susan G. Komen Foundation supporting breast cancer research. My run was in celebration of my french teacher from high school, Katie Ledford, a close family friend, Jamie Love and my great-grandmother, Nannie - all of which faught and survived breast cancer! The entire event raised close to $800,000 and brough much needed awareness to the issue! (I also got a t-shirt, which I'm excited about because you can never have too many)
