…and Gracie Girl.
The Family of Four
Me and the Crew
Clare came armed with her racing gear – Cardinals baseball cap? Check. Snacks for the road? Check. Sippy cup o’ milk? Check check and check.
During the race, we passed a lady in a wheelchair – not a racing wheelchair, mind you, but a regular wheelchair. Now, I’ve never been in a wheelchair before, but I can only imagine how difficult this must be. She kept having to stop and I felt very guilty for hesitating to do the race only because I couldn’t run. I’m a true believer in signs, and not to sound preachy, but I do think God put her there to remind me that I need to be thankful I am not more injured than I am.
Today I am thankful for:
- Getting 8 hours of sleep for the first time in weeks!
- Taking a nap yesterday (for one since I had the flu in January…I forgot how much I LOVE them!)
- Green grass

aww your nieces are adorable and im glad you had fun with them!
congrats on getting 8 hours of sleep too..i really need to catch up on my sleep.
Gracie and Clare are so cute! What a fun event!
When I was running the half marathon I saw a man in a racing wheel chair. It was so motivating and humbling!
What cuties!
I get like that too. When I am walking and see someone running, I want to run too.
I was reading someone's race report awhile ago, and they mentioned another runner who had a prosthetic leg and how grateful it made her feel for what she had. I think about that often.
oh my goodness- how adorable are they! Glad you had a good time- I got almost 8 hours last night and it felt incredible!
I need sleep so badly right now that I am rubbing my eyes like a little kid. I was so jealous when I saw that you got 8 hours.
Sleep truly is something we take for granted!
Happiness Awaits
Your nieces are so cute! Glad you for ro spend some time with them while exercising! I am jealous of your 8 hrs of sleep
I'm getting ready to run a K-5. Sounds like you had a lot of fun.
Good for you, listening to the messages that life gives you. How wonderful to participate in the race with your family!

I'm glad I'm not the only single 29-year-old out there! It definitely feels that way sometimes with my friends
sounds like you had such a great time!
wheelchairs are really hard to "drive" so to say – after a while it reallllllly builds up your upper body strength though. it must have been so motivating to see that woman participate in the 5-k – its inspiring to me!
I didn't appreciate green grass until I moved to a city that didn't have much greenery. Mmmm plantlife.
You all look so happy and beautiful!
