My first 5K race!!!!!!
On Sept 20, I ran my first 5k race! My Dad, Mom, and sisters Amy and Anna also ran it. It was Anna's first also. We did the Race for Drug and Alcohol Abuse Recovery which started at the Gallivan Center, went up through Memory Grove and then back down. (It was so fun to run through Memory Grove, because that's where Ty and I had our engagement pictures done 12 years ago. It brought back a lot of memories which helped me up that back-breaking incline!) It was absolutely exhilerating!!!! I did it mostly just to go support a good cause that has special meaning to my family, to run with my family, and to work towards the goal of completing a 5K. I actually did a lot better than I thought that I would! I came in at 28:03 minutes, which was 12th overall. Not bad for my first! All of us did better than we thought we would. My whole family shattered their expectations! I was so proud of them! They all did so awesome, and it was such a fun experience to share with them!

Angela, this is Sara Harding. I hope you don't mind that I looked at your blog. I was looking at our friends, the Schroeders, blog and saw your link. I can't believe how big your kids are. Especially your little boys. They were tiny babies when I saw them last. Even more, I can't believe how much your oldest daughter looks like Tyler, and how much your second daughter looks like you. Incredible. Anyway, it was nice to see your family (via pictures) again. What a cute family it is!!! Gotta love this blogging thing. Hope to see you guys soon.
P.S. I have a blog, too, if you want to see it. It is private, so email me at shardingrocks@yahoo.com and I will send you a link.
