Anni when you going to put a picture up?

Would it be classified as overly competitive if I refused to let a 4 year old beat me at chutes and ladders?

I can't believe it, but I ran today! It has taken four years of hard work to reach this day and I am so proud of myself. I didn't run fast and I didn't run very far, 1/8 of a mile all together and I had to do it in two tries, but I did do it. My legs burned so bad I thought I was going to cry, but I did NOT quit and I did NOT cry. I just pictured you guys standing along the track screaming at me to haul ass, and I did.

Well done, thanks for sharing.
I used a similar motivational trick the other day - I reached a hill on my bike and I imagined all the FT guys shouting at me to get on with it and it really helped :)

Great Job Anni...
I hate running...and it hurts my knees so bad that I don't do it often. You make me want to give a whirl in the morning.
