Lets Hear it for the Cheerleaders!

I have to thank Leah, Jen and Sonney Jo, for encouraging me to run last night! I REALLY did not want to. I posted on Facebook last night that I didn't want to run, I wanted to sit on my comfy couch and cry. I had no reason to cry, it just felt like something way cooler to do than running! Those 3 girls each posted a comment of encouragement.

Sonney Jo Wolfe Run. I need to run vicariously through you and I can't do that if you stay on the couch. Lol.

I think Leah's comment was the one that really got me going...Normal, What? I have never been called normal before! After I ran though, I thought....hey maybe I should try normal, it would mean that I could have stayed on the couch :)

Oh, well, I ran, I bumped into a tree hanging over the sidewalk....I couldn't see it because someone stole the copper wiring from the street lights. More miles logged and only 4 days until Disney TinkerBell Run!!! http://espnwwos.disney.go.com/events/rundisney/tinker-bell-half-marathon.

Thanks for the encouragement friends!!
