Running With Angels 5K



So about six months ago a group of us girls from the ward decided to start running at the legacy center. We started off at a walk and then started running. We decided to do a 5K and signed up for the running with angels 5K at Thankgiving point. We did it and it was awsome!!




The one thing that I think was the most rewarding was after all the years of cheering them on at ballroom dance competitions, baseball games, Lacross games, football games, soccer games, all of the many events that they are involved in they cheered for me. I loved having my children and my husband on the sidelines cheering me on. I felt like with them there I could do anything. Thanks guys I love you.

LoVe the new look, woman!

And now to specify something, so listen up closely lady:

I CHEERED for you because I love you.

I CRIED for you because you and I are not natural runners and this was a BIG DEAL for us. And we did it and we ROCKED. And I am proud of you for sticking with it because what we just did was HARD.

That's what best friends do. Deal with it.

LOVE YOU!

skcoe said...

Oh. I already told you that. You're going to be so disappointed when you open this and see three comments and they're all from me.

Sarah Lee said...

Very Cute new blog look! And yes, we totally ROCKED running but, I bet we will do even better at soccer:)

jenn said...

You deserved to be cheered on by your cute family! And my family appreciates you sharing them- it was so fun to have people cheering as we ran!

AND- I am NEVER telling you anything again! I thought it was so sweet of Sheryl to be THAT happy for you and what you accomplished then you go and think it is because you are retarded?!@#* You are NOT retarded! Except maybe for thinking you are. You are amazing and it IS a big deal to finish a 5K. At least it seems like a big deal when I finish, so I think it should be for you too.

GREAT new look for your blog- but you didn't hear it from me. ;)

Annie said...

Good job Steff!! I knew you would Rock the 5k!! I love your bangs too!! You look way too cute to have just ran a race!

skcoe said...

Did Vicky just say T-shit? Did she just say it TWICE??? I think she did. I'm laughing REALLY REALLY hard right now.

steff said...

Vicky watch your language!! Just teasing, we love you even if you occasionally use swear words unknowingly.

Julie W said...

How far are you in Devil in the White City? I can't wait to talk to you about it. I really enjoyed it. Who wouldn't want to read about an architect, a murderer and the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago.

steff said...

I am about one third of the way through, I'm sort of going slow but it is really interesting.

smacula said...

ha ha ha -- now i said it twice too-- why do i always leave 2 comments on blogs-- I really don't mean too but I do it all the time-- that's funny-- sorry!!!

Vicky Bonita said...

People, people. PLEASE!!

Let's keep the blog comments rated G, no more swearing. Mispelling?? just read your comments before hitting the "Publish your comment" button. gosh!

Is one thing to mispronounce words like "sheet" and "focus", but mispelling... tsk tsk

steff said...

Vicky, you are hilarious!! We love you even when you mispell words, and we love you more when you mispronounce words like focus and count and sheet.

Steph Macula I am lauging my sox off over your comment ha!!! I will be available at the mall all day signing any t-shits people might have.

Um, Steff, you have awesome hot legs. I said that to Sheryl the other day, but I figured I should just tell you myself.
