The JOY of running...


Yesterday was the area 6 meet for the State of Wisconsin Special Olympics. I LOVE Special Olympics - I love the athletes who cheer for their competition - I love the volunteers who treat the athletes like the superstars they are - I love our coaches and their families who give up lots of time and energy to help our team practice and succeed. Overall, our team did really well but of course I am most proud of my boy, Nic! What an athlete! He blew away the competition in the 100M dash and took first place so we're off to state in Stevens Point on June 5th.


I love this picture of Nic - he just looks so HAPPY running - oh, to be young again and rejoice in all that my body could do! I wish I felt this kind of joy on the treadmill.
