proud of myself.

i am so proud of myself. this morning i got up at 7:30 a.m. (a feat in and of itself), and went and did the panther 5k. this year it was also called "run with a purpose" and another cor401 group put it on (it happened to be some of my friends), and all the proceeds go to habitat for humanity to build a house for a family in bond county. as far as i could tell this morning was a huge success. as i was standing in the registration line the woman in front of me was saying to someone else that for the last 5 years it was about a third of the size it was today. i would like to note that i have never done a 5k race, or a race of any kind before. i am not in shape to run it all, so i ended up walking with my friend maribeth. i would have liked to run some of it, but she was mildly injured and couldn't run, and i didn't want to to it by myself. it was really enjoyable, and because we walked, not difficult. we had a nice time walking and talking, and we didn't finish last! i really didn't want to be the last to finish. as we were coming up on the end however everyone was gathered around for the giving away of the prizes and when coach barber saw us coming he had everyone cheer us on. i wish he hadn't done that, but what are you going to do. then i hung out and listened to people getting their prizes and it was fun. like i said, i'm proud of myself for getting up this morning and doing it. i really enjoyed it. i suppose i've said that enough now. probably the best part is that it was all for a good cause. i do feel a little lame though. there was someone who i wanted to talk to, but waited too long and they left. lame me. nothing new about that though. so much to say too chicken to do it. that's it i think.

homecoming is fun.
