This morning I ran my first 5k!
I've been running for a while, but have never ran a race til this morning. I did the Lenexa Freedom Run with my step-dad, sister and some family friends. It was lots of fun!
As they played the star spangled banner before the race began, I stood there with my hand over my heart and looked around at Old Town Lenexa and all the great americans lined up to start the run. I got a little choked up thinking about how great our nation is and how proud I am to be an american.
This afternoon we went to a barbeque at my mom's and this evening we're going to go watch some fireworks. I always really look forward to the fireworks, my favorite part of the 4th!
I hope you all are having happy and safe Independence Days!
Happy Birthday America!
