Cherry Fesitval of Races

A long term goal of mine has been to be a runner. As a self-professed major wimp, I knew this would be a tough road. We purchased a treadmill in December and I started training for my big race, which I thought would be 10K in May. For various reasons, I wasn't able to run the race, which made me extremely annoyed, angry and down-right ticked! I immediately signed up for the Traverse City Cherry Festival 5K. I didn't set the world on fire with my time, but I finished running the entire race. I loved the feeling of crossing that finish line and couldn't hide my smile.
We received pictures today and I knew I had a huge smile! What a great day, great memory and incredible first race!
