take that, diabetes {beat the bridge}

What kind of stats do you want? Want to know how many times I almost cried during the run? 3 times (I was very emotional, not in pain...). Want to know how much money Team Zane raised to find a cure for T1 diabetes? Over $6200! Want to know if I beat the bridge? Heck yeah I did! And I finished in 51:15! My goal (that I never admitted to anyone, just in case I didn't make it) was to be under 55 minutes. Yahoo! And I am hooked. I don't have any desire to run any farther than 5 miles, but I'd love to keep this up and do other 5 and 8K runs for sure.

Now, get ready for a lot of pictures of me. Sorry, I was excited - I needed a lot of proof that I actually did it!

Beating the bridge.

The finish line! (Thanks to Angela for this action shot!)

After I crossed the finish line I scored this fantastic medal. : ) And because I'm a huge dork, I quickly took a picture of myself. (I tried to get the finish line in the picture but I was too embarrassed to take more than one picture, so this is what I got).

Thanks for giving me the push I needed to train for this, Zane. You're awesome! And with all the money raised for research, I have a feeling diabetes is going down real soon... I pray it does.
