River Bank Run

It's official. I ran the River Bank Run!

I have wanted to run the 25K race since college but something always seemed to get in the way and the timing was never right. Since I was in desperate need after my pregnancy to improve my health, I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to finally reach this goal. So, about 6 months ago, my friend Cricket and I began training and met every Friday since then, for a long run.

Frankly, our main goal was just to finish but we also needed to work towards something during our training so we were hoping to come in somewhere under 3 hours. I am happy to say that we finished the race in 2 hours 43 minutes and had such a great time along the way! We really had so much fun and I feel truly grateful to have had this opportunity. I can hardly believe that 9 months ago I was on bed-rest and taking high blood pressure medication. It is through God's amazing grace, the encouragement of family and friends and the support of my running buddy, Cricket, that I finally accomplished this goal. Thanks to everyone for your support!
