a·chieve·ment

[uh-cheev-muh nt]
noun
Dictionary.com defines Achievement as: 1. something accomplished, especially by superior ability, special effort, great courage, etc.; a great or heroic deed:

I don't know if what I did today was heroic or that I did it with superior ability but I do believe that I displayed special effort and great courage :)  LOL  Today was the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure - my very 1st 5k.  I finished the race (although we started in an odd way).  It was SO CROWDED!!!  There were a ridiculous number of people at the event that it made starting at the finish line almost impossible.  We did 2 miles of the actual race and finished really strong!  I actually will look forward to running a real 5k sometime soon.  This was a good starter :)

Here we are (bandanna and all).  fuzzy I know...:(

 Before the race...I had oatmeal (I HEART HONEY)

After the race...Terri and I went to Panera where we got the Breakfast Power Sandwich :)

We came home and I decided I needed to dye my hair...It turned out SO GOOD!  I'm really happy with the warm brown color it came out to.  (don't mind the pose...I was trying to get the light to hit the color just right)

I feel like I didn't sit down today...we had to park 1.4 miles from the race start/finish which we walked :)  So added to our 2 miles (we ran) that makes about 5 miles.  Then I came home and made lunch for the kids...dyed my hair...took a shower (whew)...took a walk with the kids/dog (crazy I know)...went to the grocery store...then my sis, Linc and her DH came over to see the puppy...then dinner...get ready for the week...OMG

By the time I sat down...I knew it was a bad decision b/c my shins, ankles, and feet are KILLING me!!!  I'm a whimp :)

Dinner was sweet potato hash (can you tell I love this stuff)?  and an egg

Now I'm going to bed...so sleepy
