Favorite Picture!

A couple of weekends ago, I volunteered at a local fundraising event for Rett Syndrome. It was a 3k walk and a 5k run. Since I'm not a fan of walking more than I have to or running at all, I decided to manage the water station for the 5k runners. It was a tough job. My performance was adequate, but next year I will make improvements for sure.

Below is one of the best pictures from the event. Our friend Brian Koder took the picture of Derik and Brian running and doing their best imitation of Chariots of Fire.

The intensity is really too much. Derik was doing the 3k walk and Brian was finishing his run. I really love this picture.

This leads me to my next thought. I have to start running soon. I have decided that July is going to be the month of "Ann the Runner". I'm really not excited about it. Maybe I should purchase some new running outfits for my month of running to motivate me. Maybe if I had a cute new pair of neon shoes, I wouldn't dread putting them on each time.

I see people running all of the time. Everyone has a specific style or "gait" when they run. I am very self conscious of my gait. I'm pretty sure I look ridiculous. That and the fact that I have a pouty look on my face like I am going to break down and cry at any moment.

Can't wait for July,

Ann the Runner
