Walk on the wild side

It's been awhile since I posted!  Things have been pretty busy in our lives. 

First thing's first, I'm excited because two weeks ago I ran and completed a 5k course on a whim! :)  It wasn't a competition, just me challenging myself to run an entire course without stopping......and I did it!  It may not be a big feat to many people, but I was proud of myself!  I think I made pretty good time too!  When I finished I felt invincible.  Like I could climb a mountain.  Jump up and touch the moon.  Live in a large nest on a cliff's edge and raise a baby bald eagle by feeding it Alicia Silverstone style while images of the American flag appear in the background.  Me shouting, "fly, eaglet, fly!" while God Bless America plays on repeat.  Run, Tracy, run!  I also kind of felt like this:


Not sure if that makes sense, but it's how I felt. I've had that song stuck in my head since then.   My body was super sore the next day.  I haven't attempted to run the course again. :(  I need to keep practicing and then pick a race, hopefully next month.
