What an AWESOME team run this was!<\/p>\n

We had a turn out of 13 of our team members running in this one! \u00a0We had 6 spectators cheering us on as we ran in!<\/p>\n

It’s the day after the race and I am hearing on Facebook about how everyone is nursing some sore legs. \u00a0My daughter, Kara was walking like she was beaten with a baseball bat or had hip replacement surgery. \u00a0Last night my toe was still cramping, but that was from the doozy hike\/run that Lester, Ben and I did a few days before the race.
\nI might have purposely left out the details of the elevation loss and gain of this trail run so people wouldn’t back out. I have GOT to stop doing that. ;) \u00a0I was just so happy to have all of us out there to cheer each other on. \u00a0It was 100% better than last year.
\nI beat last year’s time by 9 minutes. I’m pretty darn proud of that.<\/p>\n

Birdie, Victoria and I decided that this year we are going to do 1 5k race each month in the year of 2013. \u00a0We got January out of the way, but Victoria and I have another one before the month is over.
\nFebruary is the one I am the most excited about doing though.
\nI gave the option to Birdie to pick our Feb. race because she was going to do this Resolution run for Jan. \u00a0She put up 3 options she wanted to do and I checked the routes. \u00a0The first one was through a\u00a0residential\u00a0area and it was lame. The other one would give us an option to wear pink and the other one had a cute owl and had the same route as the one we could wear pink. \u00a0 I narrowed my choice to the two that ran along the river. \u00a0 In order to make the choice I would have to check where our registration money would go.
\nI opened up the Getty Owl<\/strong> <\/a>page and I began reading where it goes. I had no idea what SMA <\/a><\/strong>was and I had to keep looking up what SMA stood for. \u00a0Then I found the blog<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0Hmmm. Maybe I can find some pictures from the last race. \u00a0 I began to read. \u00a0I started blinking back tears as I got deeper into the blog. \u00a0The blinking was no longer working, I had let out a sob and the tears poured down my face. \u00a0 Sitting there for a solid hour with tears I read the most amazing posts from this little girl’s mother and father. \u00a0I knew I was going to have to write her an email, not even caring if she thought I was a crazy loon.
\nShe emailed me back and for the rest of the day we chatted through emails and with each email, I cried even harder.
\nShe agreed to allow me to interview her for a blog post for Runs With Rusty Scissors.
\nI will share the link after I interview her and I am hoping that everyone signs up. \u00a0If they don’t. I hope they at least donate and get the word out about a little girl named, Getty who is going to change the face of SMA with the help of her inspirational mother and father who believe there is HOPE for a cure.<\/p>\n

Yep. I signed up for this race and I can’t even tell you how I think this will be the one I am most proud of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
