Award I ran my first marathon (http://leg4step.blogspot.ru/2014/08/my-first-marathon.html) this summer. Recently, in this December, I turned 39. So I received from my daughter simultaneously both a gift for my birth day and an award on my first official marathon finishing. My time was 3 hours 34 minutes 45 seconds. Now I am going to put on this friendship bracelet for all my futures races. I am planning to earn one more "trophy" by my next birth day. Thanks a lot, my dear Paulina, for your gift and your award!

An Award

I ran my first marathon (http://leg4step.blogspot.ru/2014/08/my-first-marathon.html) this summer. Recently, in this December, I turned 39. So I received from my daughter simultaneously both a gift for my birthday and an award on my first official marathon finish. My time was 3 hours 34 minutes 45 seconds. Now I am going to put on this friendship bracelet for all my futures races. I am planning to earn one more "trophy" by my next birthday.
Thanks a lot, my dear Paulina, for your gift and your award!

And here's another joke about running:

Two men are walking through a forest. Suddenly, a bear jumps out in front of them. The men run away as fast as they can. Then one of the men stopped, opened up his backpack, and put on a pair of running shoes. His friend looked at him and said, "What are you doing? Are you crazy? You can't run faster than the bear!"

The other man replied, "I know. But all I have to do is run faster than <em>you</em>!"
