First Big Race

A friend of mine just finished her first big race last Saturday.  It wasn’t like Chariots of Fire, but still a great accomplishment.  She’s not much of a runner, so it gives me hope to get into shape.  Also, she has asthma, so she’s been steadily working out; walking for a long time and then finally jogging leading up to the race.  I’m really very proud of her, so I decided to get her a gift.  She loves gifts!

In the past, I have gotten her makeup or some fun jewelry, but this time I went to a new shop.  It’s this little place called 10,000 villages where they sell things from 3rd world countries all the time.  It’s also part of the fair trade act.  I ended up getting her a really cute little sculpture, something that I thought would last that would remind her of the race.

I’d love to train myself, but I suffer from heel pain.  I’ve been going to this site for answers and remedies.  Hopefully, I’ll be back on my feet soon so that I too can run a race.
