Lengthen Your Stride

Yesterday I won my first race! Well, first for the women that is. I came in 4th over all and I was only two minutes behind the leader. It maybe the only race I win my whole life so I have to indulge in the feeling! There were 700 participants of the first annual (?) Lengthen your Stride 5k.

This 5k was coupled with a day of service. Every participant brought food and clothing to donate for the needy.

The winner of the Raleigh Marathon presented the awards. I felt so cool! Not to mention how cool and fast Dylan thought I was! Since I was the women's leader, I got to be interviewed. When I get the link for it, I will post it! But enjoy these pics for now!

Wow. But let's be honest, I'm not surprised. When we would go running together, I have 5 inches on you and I still struggled to keep up!

I am totally not surprised!! In fact, I actually thought to myself, I wonder how that race went, I bet Michal won. Is the dude in the green adidas shirt the guy who won the Raleigh marathon? He's new in our ward, but I don't know his name. Oliver spilled milk all over the back of his suit one Sunday though.

It's already been said 20 times, but whatev. I'm saying it, too. That is so awesome. Nice job! And I think I might be too intimidated to ever run with you.
