And We Ran....
Friday 6:00 PM...Kennebunk Free Library Fundraiser...Mother Nature finally decided to give us warmth and was it ever warm!!! The Library lawn was crowded with people. A band was playing on the front steps, food was being prepped on the side lawn, and an auction flanked the band on the lawn. I checked in, lined up, and before I knew it, I was running the streets of Kennebunk. I thought...I can do this...I have done it twice before and I can do it this time!! Oh...it was hot...hills...keep running...mile 1...only 2.2 miles to go!! I was wishing I had drinken more water (didn't want to have to go pee halfway through the race!!) Water station ahead...I grabbed a dixie cup of water...oh great!! Note to self...stop running when trying to drink!! I was wearing my much needed water. Mile 2...more water!! I stopped and drank my dixie cup full of water. It wasn't enough...couldn't wait around, people I had passed were now passing me!! Get going Kaye...one more set of hills to go. Mile 3...look at all the people...the finish line...there's a client!! Don't wimp out now...get moving...feet, don't let me down now!! There's Shelly, there's Tina, there's ME!!! I made it!! Just get me some water!! Here comes Erin...Dusti too...Barbara is crossing the line!! Congratulations Ladies!! All of you represented Forever Fit in the best kind of way I can imagine!!

Nicole's Run...We had a small but impressive team at this rainy, foggy 5K on July 26th. The air was heavy, the tide was out...that distinct smell of seaweed in the air...and the damp coolness all came together to make this a challenging run for Mandy, Shelly, and Michelle with baby Kate!! It was Michelle and Kate's first run!! I was on the sidelines cheering them onto the finish line!! The ladies did a great job as usual. Again, Forever Fit was very well represented!! Great Job to all who participated!!
