My first race tomorrow!

I never thought I'd see a day when I would run a race.  I'm doing the 8K Good Life Fitness Run in Victoria.   I started a little over a year ago running 1 and walking 3 minutes.  I have done 30 minutes in a row before but ususally I do 10 min run and 1 min walk.  I've had so much support from lots of people all along the way. Chris, who encourages me to join running groups and is happy to be with the kids on those evenings.  He sent me flowers the first time I ran 8 minutes - so sweet.  Jordan and Rachel, who always ask me how my run went.  Jordan who runs with me and was surprised how much faster I got over time. Elizabeth, who suggested I join a running group and I might be surprise to find how much I like it - you were right!
 Marianne, who joined the first running group with me, I don't think I would have gone by myself. Katherine, who suggested I sign up for a race, I'm so glad I did, its kept me motivated all summer.  Mom and Dad, who are always proud of me no matter what I do, but have encouraged me all the way.  Troy and Amanda, who are an example of perseverance and healthy lifestyle.  Shannon, who introduced me to Sole Sisters, very inspiring group of women.  Mena, the leader of the sisters who ran with me last week at our dress rehersal and gave me tips for tomorrow.  John, who didn't make fun of me running a 8 K race when he runs marathons all the time.

I'm nervous but excited too, I have no idea what this will be like.  So happy I'll have my fans at the finish line!!
