Step by step
Mile upon mile
In the sun
Through sticky sweat
With thousands of other women
I will run strong
Though my nerves feel funny
I will run hard
Until the last step
The finish line I see
Arms raised up I shout
Hurray!!!
I did it
We all did it
For women
And against heart disease
*This is dedicated to all the amazing women running the first annual Chicago women’s half marathon and 5K, best wishes to us all*

Nice post.You ran a 10k? Good for you.
Thank you :)! I did a Half-marathon- 13.1 miles, 10K is 6.2 miles.
A thing we share, this one. But unlike you (I assume), well let’s just say it won’t take me long to gasp for air. Hahaha!
Ha ha ha :). Trust me i was gasping alright. I wanted a bed and some food lol. Running is great though, it clears the mind i think
Finish hard! lol!
LOL!!!!

Thanks Oster’s mom :). You are too kind.
