Minnie 5K - Thank you WISHer's

[Krispy]

I just wanted to thank the WISH team members for being there at the end to give me those great big sweaty hugs! I appreciate it... Yes I was last - actually 1795 out of 1796 (I guess one person dropped out) - but those at the finish line and along the course made me feel like I was first.

I will write a little bit of a race recap thing a little later - but I wanted to say thank you to those that really helped me finish today! Im not sure if the ladies that finished and came back to meet me at mile three so I wouldn't finish alone post/read here - but I want to send out my appreciation to them as well - you ladies were the best!

Kristina: A finish is a finish. Buddy Ryan(old NFL Eagles Head Coach) use to say" if you ain't the lead dog, the view never changes". If you don't when the race, everyone else finishes. You are like everyone else who got their medals. I wish you great luck in the future races

Kristina--Great job on your race!!!! You should be proud of yourself that you finished the race! It doesn't matter what place you came in, you crossed that line and got that medal, and it looks like you had fun in the process!! That should be all the matters!

Kristina,

Congratulations on finishing! You finished, you earned your bragging rights, and you received those big, sweaty hugs! It sounds like you had a great time. I look forward to reading your RR, and I hope to hear you're doing more events!!

Im feeling better about the "DLF" - my father in law told me tonight the only reason I was last was cause he didn't sign up. I'm happy to have my medal and I earned it - first or last.

Here's one of the pics from after the race - I told DH I wasn't taking the bib off until I had a picture with Miss Minnie...

Kristina - I just have to say congratulations on your 5k finish - it feels AWESOME to have that medal I am sure. I love the pic with your family and Minnie - how cute!! And I just have to tell you how your race report on the other thread made me tear up. It is so encouraging to see how helpful and polite the people in the running/walking community are. Not only where WISHers cheering you on - everyone was cheering you on. And be proud of yourself - you got it done and now you can look forward to your next race!!
