One Year of Changes

It has now been 1 full year of changes. 

I started this journey in February 2013 and the following is a brief update of the past year through February 2014.

This past year I ran my 1st 5K with Kimberly to benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.  Kimberly has run this every year since the death of her Grandpa.   It was a pretty emotional time for Kimberly and me.  We both had a little cry when we wrote Papa's name on the remembrance wall.

Mark, Chloe and Mackenzie came to cheer us on.

I also ran a half marathon.  Who would have ever thought I could run 13.1 miles!?!  I'm not sure I will ever run another one but am proud of myself for the accomplishment.  I'm sure there were some walkers who finished ahead of me but I did my funny little jog the whole way after all I wasn't in a hurry.  The only time I wasn't running was through the water/hydration areas.  I walked through those because I'm not talented enough to run and drink at the same time.  

My medal and bib.

Josh and Claire surprised me at the finish line.  (Claire was taking the photo)

I'm on my 5th pair of shoes for the year and I'm looking forward to 5 new pairs this year if I can keep up the pace with my 10,000 steps a day.

Here's to another year.
