...and Gracie Girl.
The Family of Four
Me and the Crew
Clare came armed with her racing gear - Cardinals baseball cap? Check. Snacks for the road? Check. Sippy cup o' milk? Check check and check.
During the race, we passed a lady in a wheelchair - not a racing wheelchair, mind you, but a regular wheelchair. Now, I've never been in a wheelchair before, but I can only imagine how difficult this must be. She kept having to stop and I felt very guilty for hesitating to do the race only because I couldn't run. I'm a true believer in signs, and not to sound preachy, but I do think God put her there to remind me that I need to be thankful I am not more injured than I am.
Today I am thankful for:
- Getting 8 hours of sleep for the first time in weeks!
- Taking a nap yesterday (for one since I had the flu in January...I forgot how much I LOVE them!)
- Green grass

aww your nieces are adorable and im glad you had fun with them!
congrats on getting 8 hours of sleep too..i really need to catch up on my sleep.
Gracie and Clare are so cute! What a fun event!
When I was running the half marathon I saw a man in a racing wheel chair. It was so motivating and humbling!
What cuties!
I get like that too. When I am walking and see someone running, I want to run too.
I was reading someone's race report awhile ago, and they mentioned another runner who had a prosthetic leg and how grateful it made her feel for what she had. I think about that often.
oh my goodness- how adorable are they! Glad you had a good time- I got almost 8 hours last night and it felt incredible!
I need sleep so badly right now that I am rubbing my eyes like a little kid. I was so jealous when I saw that you got 8 hours.
Sleep truly is something we take for granted!
Happiness Awaits

I'm glad I'm not the only single 29-year-old out there! It definitely feels that way sometimes with my friends :)
sounds like you had such a great time!
wheelchairs are really hard to "drive" so to say - after a while it reallllllly builds up your upper body strength though. it must have been so motivating to see that woman participate in the 5-k - its inspiring to me!
I didn't appreciate green grass until I moved to a city that didn't have much greenery. Mmmm plantlife.
You all look so happy and beautiful!
