....ran a 5K.
You might think that isn't such a big deal. You would be wrong.
You see up until a few weeks ago Bronwyn had run about 5 times, just for fun, ever.....in her life.
Bronwyn and running didn't really go together.
A few weeks ago she decided to start running around the park that is next to our house. I don't know if it coincided with me and Benay telling her to be aware of the "freshman 15" or the "freshman 50" that she will battle in a few months (that dreaded college disease that attacks most freshmen women...at least it did when Benay and I were in school) or if she just decided on her own to get a healthier lifestyle.
Anyway, each lap around the park is about .6 kilometers. The first day she started to run she couldn't even finish one lap.
Yesterday she finished 5K. Impressive.
She did great and I think she even surprised herself by finishing.
The Blume Family Running Club is now growing. She is the 4th person in our family to complete a 5K.
The running club is mainly made up of the four running chicks in the following photo (the 4th being my sister) and me.
I'm very proud of all these girls.
We (me, Benay, Ansley and Bronwyn) want to run in a 5K together before Bronwyn goes to college.
And after that? Who knows what's next?
Maybe one day our family will run in a 10K together.
Maybe a half marathon.
Heck, why not a full marathon?
Nobody knows.
For now, we are very happy that Bronwyn finished her running goal.
