RACE DAY was fantastic. Sarah, Amy P. and I had a great time and we all did a super job. It is amazing when I think back to how pathetic I was just 2 months ago. I never would have thought I could (and would) run a 4 mile race. Thanks to everyone who was so supportive of me. I will keep you up to date on my progress and then next race!
I am thankful for...
1. Amy and Mike Parrott and their children, Melanie Chitwood, Anu, Sarah and Ben, Michael and Daniel all coming to the race to cheer me on. I am especially thankful for Todd and all of his words of encouragement. I look forward to running some races with him in the future. I am so glad that he is my best friend. I couldn't ask for better.
2. the wonderful card Ashley Pyle and family sent to me. I rarely get to see Ashley and it was so thoughtful of her to send me a card wishing me the best of luck during the race. I re-reminded me that I need to reach out to people more often. I know how much it means to me!
3. my Aunt Vanessa, who completed who first marathon yesterday and gave all of the glory to God. Good job Vanessa! We are all so proud of you. I watched your interview on the Today Show this morning and tears came to my eyes. I am touched that your beautiful babies inspired you to accomplish such an incredible goal.
4. Todd having such a wonderful birthday party. Wow! I am married to a 32 year old!
5. Sarah, Anu, and Todd helping me make Todd's birthday super special and for the Parrotts, who came over to help us celebrate.
6. Sarah returning home safe and sound with Ben.
7. DVRs
8. having a quiet house, even though we loved having Sarah, Ben and Anu here.
9. the wonderful sleep I was blessed with last night.
10. the helpful hints family and friends give me with respect to raising the boys. I greatly appreciate the, "have you tried this" suggestions. It makes child-rearing much easier.
