proud

I love my friends!  When I see my friends succeed at something, I get really excited.  And proud.  I think, "That guy/gal right there? Yep, that's my friend."  Over the past few months, I've been really proud of some of my friends:

• JM did a triathlon and loved it.
• Jocelyn ran her second half marathon and crushed her PR.
• Brenda also ran her second half marathon and PR'ed (and let me run with her the whole way).
• Brian just ran Philly and PR'ed by over 15min!
• Meghan ran a race she didn't think she was ready for, did it anyway, and had fun doing it (she even blogged about it!).
• John absolutely smashed his marathon PR at Philly yesterday and qualified for Boston - by 2 minutes!!!!!
• Corri ran a 10K, her second race but the first time she ran the whole way and didn't stop to walk.
• Karyn is back to running after having a baby and will run her first race back on Thursday.
• Nearly half of my Life Community group from church is running the Feaster Five this Thanksgiving - and many of them would not consider themselves runners!

I am so proud of all of these friends.  They set goals and worked hard to achieve them.  Congratulations, you guys.  Great work!
