This past weekend I discovered something new about myself. I realized that I have never been first at anything. Well yes, sterling scholar.....nope....I was runner-up. I have experienced the sense of accomplishment that comes from being first at something. I ran a 4th of July 5k and placed #1 in my age division 20-29. It's amazing the extra power and motivation you feel when you've succeeded. 
It's funny because I was just going to be done with races after this one but when I finished I commited to trying a 10k in 2 weeks. WHAT? I've never even considered it....ever! I guess I was caught up in my moment of glory. I want everyone to know that the power of your mind, believing in yourself, and being confident is more powerful than all the work you put into things. You can be 1st too!

Holy Cow! Great job Dinae! That is so awesome. What was your time? You're an inspiration to me right now. I'm trying to get into really good running shape, like you. Good luck on the 10K.
Love it. Way to go. I think I underestimate the power of my thinking, so thanks for the reminder. Good luck with the 10K. P.S. you guys sure have cute kids.
