My Medal Winner!

She'd been training her little hiney off.

And preparing herself mentally for her first big race.

Thanksgiving morning, 7:30AM to be exact.

And the coldest Thanksgiving since 1911.

She did it!

Said she simply wanted to run the entire race, no walking. 

That's my girl. 

I stood at various spots along the race route, rooting her and her friends on,

a smile *literally* frozen on my face.

Blessed and thankful.
