Running Buddy!

Last night my sister and I attended the Joints in Motion information session for Athens, and I have to say that even though I am so crashed this week, it was pretty awesome. We watched a video on arthritis and heard from a woman who walked a marathon in 2004, got the details on fundraising and training and saw a slideshow of Athens travel pics. I didn't ever go to an information session before I signed up, so lots of it was new for me too and of course meeting the team is always great.

But the *most* awesome part was that my sister decided to sign up too! She mentioned it a year ago when I signed up, but I really didn't think she was going to do it, so I'm very excited now. We can do tag-team fundraising and travel together and even though we probably won't do too much running together (she is doing the 10 K and I am trying for the marathon), I'm still SO stoked at having a buddy.

Since I'm adopted we only met as adults, but we're great friends and very alike. We love to travel (this is us in Germany a few years ago) and have fun and it's just so great that she's coming along!
