This picture is bad, I know. But there's a good story...

That's me in the foreground, nearing the finish of the Reindeer Run 5K race in December 2002. The photo was taken with my camera by my friend Gavin's mother. I don't think she had ever actually used a digital camera before that day, which explains the interesting angle and out-of-focus shot.

Two years ago, 5Ks were all I ever ran. You see, I'm not really built to be a runner. I'm a stocky tomboy, not a lithe speed demon. If you had told me when this picture was taken that I'd be running all 26.2 miles of the Houston Marathon on January 16, 2005, I would have laughed.

But I am. Today I'm running my first marathon!

Wish me luck. :)
