I DID IT!!!

I accomplished a major goal today. I ran a half-marathon (13.1 miles). It was so amazing. Austyn and I had so much fun doing it. The hardest miles for me were the first (because I knew I had so far to go) and the last (because it was mostly uphill and I was so tired). One day I want to do a full marathon but for now I am just so proud of myself for making it this far.

Congratulations! That is SO awesome! I'd love to get in touch with you sometime. I enjoying reading about your family online, but it would be fun to talk on the phone sometime--I feel like a Peeping Tom! Email me! caterpillargirl_77@hotmail.com

WOW!! That is soooo awesome, melissa!!! Congrats!!! Mom told me the whole story about Austyn's husband filming it and cheering you along the way, and you running to the mall so cory could be there to welcome you at the finish line. You'll have to help me get started this summer. I did some running earlier in the semester, but the scheduling didn't work out. I wasn't getting enough sleep because of it. But I want to start back up this summer!

Melissa, you have always been the girl who said you wanted to do something and then did it even when you decided you wanted to play softball and you wanted to be the pitcher. Way to go!!! I will no be surprised when you turn into a ballerina.
