Victoria completed week 4 of the Couch to 5k program. If you’re sick of hearing about how proud I am of her, go away.

She’s signed up for the Merrell Mud Run in two weeks, which I am SO excited to run with her in.  Then today she signed up for her other 5k that is her end of the program run.  While looking at races in the area I found this totally cheesy site that has 5k’s during the week.  We have our runs on Monday and this one fell on a Monday so we decided we are going to do it!  Then she found one in November that she thought would be good to do too.  In one month she went from saying, “I can’t run!” to signing up for four 5k runs!
Don’t get me started on how proud I am of Birdie…Amanda…and all my Run A 5k in 2012 runners!

I reached my goal and the others I had set personally.  I will have ran in 9 races by the end of the year. I ran in the one race I wanted to run in since I started which the proceeds go to Cystic Fibrosis.  Did I set any records? no. Did I win any gold metals? nope. Will I get past by a 7 year old? YUP! Do I give a shit? Not even a little bit! :)  The pride I have in being able to get one person to run in a 5k in this year was worth it…the fact that reached so far past 1 and all around the world, UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.

Also, decided to start an official running group  to replace RA5k2012 (only three months to go!).  Already got our shirts for the mud run for our running group! I have lots of plans on how I am going to run it, but I will go into more into that on the official website.

I’m so happy.
