Not "public" knowledge in the sense of the majority of those in real life knowing about it. If you can accept all that has been stated, sit back, grab a box of tissues, and be prepared to endure the rocky road of trying to conceive while trying to get out of the shadows of infertility.

5K!!

Ok so you might be aware that I wanted to run a 5k by the end of the summer....well guess what...I did it!
I just got this feeling in my gut and the conversation went something like this (to my SIL).
"So...how fast do you run your 5k?"
"Snail pace. Like 15 minute mile."
"So I could keep up with you probably?"
"Oh yeah, definitely."
"Ok. I'm doing it. How much is late registration?"
Saturday I made the decision to run. Sunday morning (today) I registered, and later ran.
I made the 5k...3.1 miles in 42 minutes and 28 seconds. No training. Nothing...14 minute mile. Me. I did it.
I had my cute new running clothes on. Headphones tuned onto a variety of Christian music. And determination.
I kept saying to myself, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I sped up to the parts where the song swelled and my heart felt happy worshiping God. I was mouthing along to my music and wishing I could lift my hands and jump up and down telling people how amazing God is.
I cannot wait to do another one. I broke the ice. I am game. Why the heck did I wait so long?

My Number :-)

The massive craziness. There was a 5k and an 8k, plus the walkers behind us.

And here is me post 5k!
(And no it wasn't cold outside...I don't know what the heck my left tata was doing!
I even posted it to facebook before I noticed....Oh well...LOL)
