Another Run!!!

Can I tell you how proud I am of this girl? I got to run with Beth today and watch her accomplish another HUGE milestone on her journey. She ran 5 MILES today!! She did SO great - she was talking to me the whole way, her breathing was totally under control - it was amazing!! She has come so far in such a short period of time. What makes it so special is that I am getting to watch her along the way - and I was JUST there!! I remember SO clearly because it wasn't that long ago that I was in her very same shoes. I had just had Callie, and was ready to finally get back into shape. It turned into this love of running, I signed up for my first half-marathon, and the rest is history! So now I'm getting to watch Beth - and it is incredible!! You're doing SO great Beth - I'm so proud of you for being so disciplined and determined. I KNOW how hard it is to put so much time and energy towards this, but you can see how it is paying off! I can't WAIT to see you cross the finish line at Shamrock!!! :)

I don't know Beth personally, but it's so exciting to see how much you have inspired and encouraged her to accomplish as well. I know she appreciates you so much!!
