Getting ready to run the Las Vegas Ragnar


Well most of you know I have comitted to run the Las Vegas Ragnar with some of my family in October. Well I have had to work for monthes just to be able to run at all. In June I could barely walk and I have gotten so overweight I was scared to even try to run. Well today I ran my first 3 miles!!! and I did it in the rain!! Then I walked another 2 just because I felt like it!! :) I feel great. I have a long way to go but I am ON MY WAY!!

You are an inspiration! I often have dreams of me running like the wind...unfortunately just a dream. When in October is the race? Are you gonna miss Katy's wedding? (Please say no).

Mom is me, Kathy N

wow Jamie you are doing good! I am so proud of you for trying so hard. I'm glad Melissa is helping you so you don't hurt yourself. Wish I could be there to cheer the scrubs across the finish line!
