Joy of Luck assignment today? Green. Took this one to the extreme. Green is actually my favorite color, but this photo makes me kind of queasy. It definitely looks like we threw up all over ourselves.
Today we ran the Shamrock 8k race. My sister is funny. Growing up she was the anti-exerciser. She did nothing athletic. Made fun of anyone who ran. Fast forward many years. She is now a "runner." So much so that she flew down from Connecticut to run this race. It was her first 8k. Her husband was very supportive. So much so that we are sporting not one head covering. But two. Erin go braugh.
I am not a runner. I run occasionally but it is not my "sport." I did this for my sister. We had a training schedule. I followed it. Faithfully. For about a week. Then life got in the way.
Even so, we managed to pull this off. You can see in the picture that my legs are quite a bit longer than hers. She worked a lot harder to go the distance. When the finish line was in sight. And she was ready to collapse. I reached out for her. And we ran together. Crossing the finish line. Hand in hand. 60 minutes. 13 seconds.

What a FUN picture Kim! Good for you and your sister...I think that's awesome you two ran together and crossed hand in hand. I'm tired after a 5k...not sure I could pull off an 8k...or have the desire!
Oh wow! You two rock! First congrats on running the 8K race-that's awesome. And I love the mental picture of the two of you finishing the race together the way it's supposed to be. Grabbing each other by the hand and pulling each other through when things get tough.
GREAT JOB GIRLS!!
Cool picture. Congratulations on the 8k and congratulations on sticking with the assignments!
