This weekend I did my third 5K, Color Me Rad. It was such a
great feeling, to finish it. This one had more meaning for me than the others
for several reasons.
The first one is that I did it with my sisters, which was
lovely. We have done all three together, but this one was our best time yet. I
also felt really good after it was over as well. It is a wonderful feeling to
know that know that my body is definitely stronger!
The other reason this race was so awesome was that my dad
did it too! He walked it with his cousin, and once we finished, we went back
and found them and walked with them the rest of the way. When we asked him a
couple of months ago if he wanted to do it with us, he wasn’t sure he could do
the whole distance, or how long it would take him if he could do it. But he
said yes, and started walking every day with a friend at work. He worked his
way up, and was able to finish in about an hour. I was so proud of him and so
excited to have shared that with him.
Congratulations! What a feeling to be able to accomplish more and more, faster and faster, and stronger.

Please give your dad a hug and tell him he rocks! One thing to say yes to doing a 5k with family, another to start walking everyday to make sure you can follow thru!
