Life certainly goes by fast!!

This weekend was yet another momentous occasion for me. After my run on Saturday, I helped my oldest son, Thomas, move out. He and a friend found a duplex not far from McMurry to share. He is SOOO excited that he has his own bathroom! (Yes, folks, my little 1200 sqft home has three bedrooms, but only one bath to share between us.) It is the cutest thing, even complete with a sun room.

Seems like just yesterday when the three of us moved back to Abilene, from Lubbock, for me to go through Region 14 ESC alternative certification program. It was April 15th, 1994, and I was going to be the permanent sub for AISD in one of the classrooms at Woods Psychiatric. Thomas was five years old, and spending his last six weeks of Kindergarten at Bowie Elementary, my old elementary school. (We even had the same music teacher! ) Now, he is a junior at McMurry, majoring in 4-8 English Education, and is on his own.

Time does fly....I love ya, TC.

I finished!!

Okay, today was another momentous day in the life of Sharon Cochran. I ran a 5K race at Redbud, and finished! It has been over 20 years since I entered a race. (back when I weighed 120 and was a mere 30 years old!) It was funny, I was so relieved when I passed the finish line, I didn't even look at my time! I'll have to check the paper, or the running club site to see how I did. Generally I run about a 14-15 minute mile. Never in any hurry.
