So I have finally done it... I signed up for The Ragnar "Wasatch Back", the Ogden Half Marathon and will be signing up for the Salt Lake Half in the next couple of weeks. If you wonder why "I" someone who does not call herself a runner would sign up for these events just know that someone very important to me has shown me the light. Bunny was very into keeping in shape and being healthy and I have made that my goal as well. So I have decided to get going and running is where I will start.
I did my first official 5k which was the run for bun event. It was a very emotional day and to top it off a huge boulder jumped out in front of my causing me to ram into it with my knees. Yes I know only I could find a boulder and proceed to run into it. And no it did not stop me.. I kept going because who can stop when you hear the person you are doing it for telling you that you can do it. It was hard but I did it and I feel so amazing!! My legs would disagree but currently I am fighting with them.
So I have vowed to never say that I am not a runner! I may be slow but I try my hardest and that is all that matters. I know that Bunny is looking down and at times laughing at my attempt to run but also I can hear her pushing me telling me that I can do anything. I feel blessed everyday because I still am here and able to be with the ones I love.
Wish me luck!
