Salem Salamander Fun Run!

The kids are getting in on the running action too! They participated in the Salem Fun Run to raise money to fix things around their school.  They did awesome!!

Group Therapy

 The past 6 months I have been in "Group Therapy". Four days a week I lace up my running shoes and head out with my girls for a "therapy" session.  This group has been food for my soul. We laugh, cry, share, and run our little butts off. After months of therapy training we completed the City of Oaks Half Marathon. Couldn't feel more blessed to have found these gals, or to have the super support from the kids and Nathan. 

Before the race...all smiles!!

We did it!
