I'm a winner!



My daughters and I did the Jelly Bean virtual 5k race. There was a prize for the best costume and we won! We dressed as Peeps. I was little Bo Peep, my daughter Melissa was Peeping Tom , and my other daughter Katie was the Peep Show. How creative, right? We thought we were pretty funny. We ran our race along the Columbia River during a 20 mph wind, so our times weren't that great. It was my first virtual race. Looking forward to the next one.

In the beginning

So here I am a 5o year old retired teacher's aide starting a blog! Really? Will I have enough to blog about or completely bore people to tears??? Time will tell. The title of my blog refers to the fact that I have recently decided that I need to take up running for various reseaons. Let's see there is always the weight thing, the high blood pressure and high cholesteral thing, the borderline blood sugar thing, and of course wanting to live to be 100 thing. I will keep you posted on all of these things and try to introduce myself and family to you as I learn this blogging stuff.
