Spinx Runfest 2008

Yesterday I ran my first 5k!!! I am soooooooo excited...I LOVED IT!!! I have tried off and on all of my life to get into running, but it has never clicked until now. I really, really enjoy it, and I had a BLAST at the 5k. I am going to post more about it later, but for now, here are a few links to some pictures that were taken by a photographer for the Greenville News...
