Just news...

Yesterday was Ashley's last day of school. As she said today, I am officially a senior! Wow, it is just so hard to believe she'll be in her senior year. As everyone says, time does fly...and it has. All the senior parents say the last high school year is busy and goes by even faster. I guess we better rest up during the summer!

Well, I did something this morning I have never done before in my life. I ran a 5k race (3.2 miles) benefitting St. Jude's. I have always wanted to run a marathon, but I'm not sure I'll ever be capable of doing that....maybe a half-marathon one day. Anyway, the 5k was a start to something I guess. I didn't really train for it and jogged/walked it. My time was 38:06. I was less worried about the time, and just wanted to say I did it. The winning time was 15:59. That's about a 5-minute mile! 

Jo Dee Messina is the spokesperson for the race and is giving a concert tonight. She also ran the race. After I crossed the finish line, I looked over and she had come in right behind me. If I had slowed down a bit we could have chatted to the finish line!  Well, by that point in the race I'm not sure I could have talked too much!
