Thumbs Up in 2011!

In June 2010 I ran my first 5k. I was so nervous, excited, anxious, etc...I knew that I wanted pictures taken when I finished but I hadn't ever taken pictures at a finish line. When my BFF went to take my finisher's pic, I just threw my thumbs up. Ever since then I have made it a tradition to take a thumbs up pic at the finish line. No matter how tough the race, I finished! And to me - that deserves a thumbs up! :) Here is my thumbs year year in review for 2011! :)
