Mission Lunch Date

Last year at the end of my second trimester, Christy completed the Tulsa Run.  I was (and still am) incredibly proud of her.  Just 5 months after Parker was born, she finished the 15K in under 2 hours.  Wow!  She was such an inspiration, that I set my own goal of running the Tulsa Run this year.  I began the Couch to 5K program the day Sarah turned 6 weeks old.

 She was so little cheering her momma on!

It took me quite a bit longer to complete than I originally hoped due to the weather, a few trips to see family, the exhaustion of a new little one...oh the excuses are endless!  Nevertheless, after a successful run with Christy in Texas, I refocused with the goal of completing the program by the end of June.  The reward, a lunch date to Lenny's with my two favorite people.  It was just the motivation I needed, because I did it!  15 weeks after beginning to run, I can run a 5K!  

With the Tulsa Run at the end of October, my next goal is 5 miles by the end of July.  Hopefully with the motivation of some new apparel and this cutie cheering me on I will get there.
