Stiletto Sprint!

This was super fun!

I was able to join Bridgette in competing in the REI Stiletto Sprint for the March of Dimes Babies.

We ran a 50 yard sprint with about 40 other women (and 2 men in drag) in 3" or higher heels! It was a lot of fun, and Bridgette won 3rd Place!! By the way, I did not lose either, no last place here!

Side note .. Cheryl Schmitt said that I was surely going to break a hip, among other bones, and she was WRONG! Nah, Nah, Nah .. look at me I'm doing the "Cheryl was wrong" dance!!

Bridgette was only behind the girls who truly looked like they were in a serious track competition. Bridgette, of course, came in third with style and grace on her tiptoes, and with a smile on her face.

The race was featured on the local news channel, KXII Channel 12 in Sherman. The piece showed Bridgette crossing the finish line.

This was something that Bridgette has wanted to do for a while, and I had a blast. I am so glad that God allowed us to experience this together.

What fun!!! Sounds like you gals had a lot of fun. I can TOTALLY see Bridgette running in those heels! I sometimes have to look twice at the sheer height of the heels she wears to church!! I would definitely be the one breaking something there!!
