My friend, Leigh.

My friend, Leigh, accomplished something amazing on Sunday. Her first triathlon. She did it in pouring rain. With thunder and lightening. We were there cheering her on with her kids in tow. And it was fun. And wet. And I am SO very proud of her because she kicked butt. And I remember her glancing at me during her second lap of the 10K run and seeing the pain in her eyes, but she finished! I am totally and completely impressed. And a proud moment for me is that she swam with the top 30% of the swimmers. Our training these past 9 months really paid off. Leigh, you are my hero.

That's awesome... I always hope that being friends with athletic people will help encourage me to get off my lazy tush...
