I started running 6 weeks after I had Kip, I tried to get in at least 3 days a week of a good 20 to 30 minutes of jogging. A month or so ago I ran across another Marine Wife's blog who was unfortunately a new widow. She lost her husband in March while he was fighting for our freedom in Afghanistan. In honor of her husband she was signing up and raising money for the Run for the Warriors race. I jumped on board..... it was a win win situation, kept me motivated to run and gave some money to an awesome cause.
So on May 15th I completed my first ever 5k! And I made my goal! My goal was to jog the entire time without stopping to walk and I'm proud to say I did it. I was really slow but I'm going to continue training and hopefully one day bring my time down significantly. My wonderful husband and awesome son came out to cheer me on.
Special Thank You to the Cotton, Dorsey and Tilton Families for their generous donations!
