Hello friends,
I hope everyone's been doing well since I last posted. This post isn't really craft related but I will definitely scrapbook this memorable moment. This past weekend I went to Disney to participate in Disney's Princess half marathon. My goal for last year (2010) was to run a half marathon. I did it October 2010. It was an amazing feeling of accomplishment. It came and went and here I am finishing my 2nd one. My legs are still in pain but the rest of me feels great. I felt like a princess getting my medal. My kids are convinced that I came in 2nd place and my friend Lili was in first.
I could not have done this without my friends/running partners. Also my supportive hubby who slept on the couch every Friday night because I would drag my kids to bed with me (they fall asleep quick when they sleep with mommy) so that I could wake up at 5am on Saturdays. All that training was well worth it. I had a blast!
Here are a couple of pics from my weekend.

YAY!!! CONGRATS!!! I have always loved running. Thanks for the sweet comment you left on my blog. Aidan surely is a fighter and I am soo tickled for him and his parents. Gotta keep the prayers coming tho... not sure there may not be a lil "yukkies" floating around. Thank you for all you do.
