I am usually on here to brag about my kiddos or hubby but today I am bragging about myself. I did something the other day that I am pretty proud of, it's been a goal of mine for some time and I hope to keep at it now that I know I can do it. I ran 5 miles the other day for the first time. I've been running fairly seriously for the past two years or so and have never felt like I was getting any better. I've always had this mindset of "if I can just go 5 miles I'll feel like I've accomplished something" but haven't been able to get there. Well I've worked my way up, very slowly, but I can finally say I did it! It feels pretty good, so good in fact that I did it again two days later! I can't run everyday with James' work schedule but I do run everyday he's home. My new goal is to run a 10k sometime this year which is about 7 - 7.5 miles I think. I'll let you know if, no make that - WHEN I do it! Yeah me! 
Just in case anyone didn't believe me here's the proof! I run with my ipod and it has a pedometer app that keeps track of EVERYTHING! I just might have it printed out and framed! :-) Naaa, too cheesy!

Nice job Kerry! That's great!
Woohoo! You are awesome! I have still been stuck at 3 miles for over a year. I suppose that is because I don't like to sweat. :) Hehehehe! Keep at it, girlie!
