One of my favorite people, Ms. Lybi, asked me to run in this special 5K to help support the YWs in her ward.  I believe this fundraiser was to help them get to girls camp.  Of course I agreed! 

Originally I was going to run it slowly and the run another 12 miles afterwards, but last minute decided to run it like the 5k it was and see how I would do.  There was no way I was ever going to place when the first person in was in my age and gender bracket (that chiqa was amazing!), but I did come in 4th of my gender... and am super happy with myself... and, can I point out that I just had a baby 4 months ago?  Even *I* think I'm crazy.

But, I have also fallen a little behind on my marathon training.  I still plan to run it in 4 weeks; however, I'm thinking it's time to watch "The Spirit of the Marathon" to get my dedicatino back.  It's time to "do this thing"

Thank you, Ms. Lybi, for asking me to participate in today's 5K.  Not only did I get to see you (which I LOVED), and run, but I really enjoyed the race.  Everyone was so nice and clearly excited about the fundraiser.  Remember me if they do it again.

Awwww, you are so great. Thank you so much for coming! You did a wonderful job. It went so well, I'm pretty sure we are going to do it again next year.

By the way, 1 month from the marathon I think that it is kind of common to get the blahs. Save up all your enthusiasm for race day. You are going to fly!

I feel so bad about not going, but I haven't run in forever. I just can't tell Lybi directly. Will you tell her I said sorry.
