Sweet Tea & Day Dreams

November 22, 2008

Hello. My name is Cady, and I’m a 5ker.

My goal for today’s Turkey Trot was 54 minutes. I didn’t exactly make that. I did it in 49:55. I was pretty darn proud of myself. The best part? I ran the last half mile. Yes, my arthritic knees held up long enough for me to run across the finish line.

Gift Guide

It was a tough race. It wasn’t the 3.2 miles that was hard. It was the bitter, bitter cold. It was about 18 degrees out when we started, and it was 16 degrees when we finished. We walked and danced around before the race began trying to keep warm. It didn’t really help. Our fingers and toes were frozen. By the time I reached the 1-mile mark, I couldn’t feel my toes. I was completely numb.

(Yes, I totally took that picture while I was walking!)

About 2 miles in, I started to warm up more, and I was at the point where I was even considering taking off my hat and gloves. It was nice because I really thought I was going to be freezing the whole time. Around that point, I saw Joe running back toward me, and I was slightly confused. I hadn’t seen any other runners doubling back. He had already finished and come back to finish with me. That was probably one of the sweetest things he’s ever done. I was proud of him too. His goal was 24 minutes, and he finished in 23:30, which is an awesome time. He had a rough time with the cold also though. I think that may have slowed everyone down. It’s just so hard to get moving when it takes so much longer for your blood to circulate.

It was hard, but it was fun. We both felt good afterward, and we both beat our goals. That’s what’s important.

It’s been 15 years since we said “I do”, and It’s been 15 years since we said “I do”, and where do I even begin? We’ve had some amazing times, some not so great ones, and we really put the “in sickness and in health” part of our vows to the test this last year. This man is always willing to get my pain pills in the middle of the night, has helped me through Covid recovery and does everything I can’t without complaint. He’s also the funniest person I know and can always make me laugh, and he’s pretty hot, too. I am a lucky woman to call him my husband. Here’s to many more years of happily ever after. I love you! ❤️❤️
