Oh Yes I Did ......


So my good friend J and I signed up to run two 5K races in June. One of them is in a Major City with hundreds of other runners, the other is just a local race.

Running is like food for my soul, it gives me time to clear my head. I haven't always loved to run, I haven't always even liked it. My journey at first was a forced effort, I had to make myself take 3 strides and then walk 5 more. I had to find the perfect music for various playlists and of course the shoes that matched my perfectly put together outfit.

One foot in front of the other, 1 mile, 2 miles, 3, 4, and 5 miles later... I'm finally getting into the swing of things. I forgot how good I feel after a good hard run. So the shoes and the outfit aren't exactly what they were planned to be in the beginning, but this old ratty t-shirt, jogging pants, and pink sneakers aren't what made it possible for me to have a good time running anyway.

Thank you for going on this journey with me, I'm excited to see my improvement between now and June, and who knows, maybe that Muddy Pretty Girl Obstacle Course in September won't be so overwhelming by the time it comes around !

Have a great Saturday Folks!
