I'm so glad my friend took a picture of this. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I ran a 5K this past Saturday that went near their home.
As cold as it was that morning those brave little cheerleaders, and their mom, went to sidelines to cheer me on, and the 600+ other people running. I felt like a star.
And I'll tell you something else....that cheering section kept me moving. As much as I wanted to stop and walk...even if just for a minute....I kept thinking to myself "No way...I can't be seen walking....they're here to see me run!"
We even had a motivational speaker amongst out group. He was running, and sweating, never losing a beat in stride. He was cheering everyone on, even as he ran by some that had started to walk. He would encourage them to pick up the stride again. He was 75 years young. How do I know that? He kept repeating it. As motivation I'm sure. {If a 75 year old man can do it, I know you young folks can!} I thought he was great.
Join me on the next one friends! You won't regret it!
