Run, Lynn, run. . .
I set a goal of running a 10-mile race (Aflac Iron Girl) a while back and slowly worked my way up to running 10 miles.
The race was this past weekend, and it was awesome. Even more awesome was the support and encouragement my fellow Facebook, Twitter, and blogging friends offered. One of my friends posted, Run, Lynn, run!!! Forrest Gump immediately came to mind. LOL. No way could I run across the country, though.
Anyway. . .
I thought I’d share a little bit about the day with you all since many of you were a part of the day, whether you knew it or not.

Wow. It was such a great day. Sunny, warm, and surrounded by tons of encouraging and supportive people. The theme of the race was, “RACE WITH GRACE” and let me tell you, they did. That’s why I love this Aflac Iron Girl race. They have them in lots of states. You should check it out.

Congrats on this accomplishment! I’m in awe–I’ve never been able to run more than a 5K :).

Okay, you’ve inspired me. Although, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to hack a 10 mile run, I’m going to start with yoga. We’ll see how that goes. Hubby has hinted at a treadmill, and if I could put one at my computer, that would be so fabulous. Can we get someone to create that…I’ll feel stupid if there already is one. You know, a treadmill with a netbook installed. Genius. I’m contacting someone about this. Special made for the gagillion writers out there. Rambling. Thanks for the great pics!!!
