Check!!!

Today was my first-ever 5K and Nic's first-ever Half-Marathon!!! Check that off our bucket list! It felt so good! I am starting to really enjoy running. It's becoming very therapeutic. I'm so happy because I ran the whole race. That was my own personal goal. I've been training for a long time and I'm so happy with myself.

Adrienne, Me (yes, we are identical twins), Nic, Ashley (the original Ashley Haws :), Lindsay, and my awesome mom, LeAnn. Nic and Ashley (his sis) did the half-marathon. The rest of us did the 5K. It was great! In the words of my mom, "I can see why this is so addicting! I want to do another one!"



The half-marathon-ers RIGHT before their race began! They were both nervous, but they did AWESOME! I'm so proud of Nic and Ashley (the original).

And off they go!

Mom, Adrienne, Me, and Lindsay after the race. I took them home after our race and then went back to wait for Nic and Ash to finish their half-marathon. By-the-way, it RAIN, SNOWED, and HAILED. It was FREEZING (literally, it was). We were FROZEN. But, hey, we did it! And, we did it together!

Nic was SOAKING (so was the person behind the camera, a-hem). He was completely frozen head-to-toe. He couldn't smile, he couldn't talk, and he couldn't hold anything. The only thing he could do was SHIVER. He did SO good on his race. I'm so proud of him!

Ash didn't come in long after Nic. She did really well, especially considering for the last while her heart and mind hasn't been on running (wink, wink).



GOOD JOB ADRIENNE, MOM, LINDSAY, ASH, NIC AND ME! WE DID IT! WE DID IT FOR YOU MERCY! LOVE AND MISS YOU WITH ALL OUR HEARTS!
