i think i need to reward myself like this every time i run...

but that could get expensive and a little unnecessary.  And I don't think I need to get a pedicure every day.  And I definitely don't need to eat a big fat waffle with real whip cream on top every day either.  That sort of counter acts the effects of running.

But these sorts of things are great to do to celebrate running my first 5K race and my mother-in-law's birthday.

my race time was 34:02.04.  i placed 51st overall, and 10th in my age group.

not bad for a girl with a heart condition and one lung.

i'll take all of those proudly.

and work on getting my mile time to under 10 minutes (9:30 is the goal).
