Bucket List





Thanks to one of my best friends, I can cross one more thing off my bucket list....running a half marathon. She and I ran in the Dam to Dam race held in Des Moines a couple of weeks ago. All I can say is what an experience! It was like nothing I have ever done before...definitely very hard, but also very rewarding. I found the race to be as much of a mental challenge as it was physical. Something I won't ever forget...not sure it will ever be repeated either. The bonus was we got to stay with and spend time with one of our favorite families ever. We love them and always have so much fun together! (Don't mind the pictures, I look as if I've just run a half marathon!)

and you're smiling. I don't know if I would be smiling... or standing... hopefully breathing. Good job.

We've made this connection before. My friend Jenny in Texas is friends with your friend Laura. I think you've seen me in a picture with both of them when we were in Hawaii. Anyway, Jenny and I just ran in our first marathon in May. Just thought I would share. I had some of the same thoughts as you about running the race. So hard - and yet so rewarding. I want to do it again next year.
