Funday Sunday!

I know that the title of this blog makes you think I will talk about Sunday, but that is a tad bit misleading!  My bff already took the title "Team Molly," so I had to think of something else...haha...

What is "Team Molly?"  Well, if you read Megan's blog, you already know.  But for those of you who don't, it goes a little something like this:

A few friends & myself have decided it would be a good idea to begin training for a few 5k's, then possibly a 10k, and then we shall see where else this leads.  Team Molly is what we called ourselves yesterday.  It was a wonderful chick, Molly Calvert's 30th birthday!!  How exciting is that! A new milestone!  A new adventure! So, on her birthday, we conquered a 5k.  How cool is that...to run 3.2 miles on your 30th birthday!  We had shirts made & everything for this monumental occasion.  Here we are below...after the run I may add...thats why my face is soooo red!
It's me, Molly ( the birthday girl), and Megan.

It was a great time!  And...not only did Mr. Kilgore prove what a SUPERSTAR  he is...finishing 3rd in his age group, but Stefanie W. also proved how awesome she is, too!  She completed a half marathon!  Wowzer!  How unbelievable is that?!!

This whole running experience has been quite the emotional roller-coaster.  I didn't think that I would be so consumed by it.

I'm learning... from a very passionate person, that there are life lessons in "running the race." She says on one of her latest blogs, "You are stronger than you think. You can push and dig deeper than you think. You may slow down, but don't you ever stop."  She says, "I dare you to believe. To move past the voice of impossible."  

This is my biggest weakness. The voice of impossible....But with Meg's encouraging words, His guidance & strength & a whole lot of FAITH...I WILL obtain victory! The taste of victory is...Oh..So...Sweet!!  The sense of accomplishment makes me crave more!
