Did I really just do that???

Hell yes I did! Hell yes WE did! (Thanks, lil’ sis!)

Oh my god, I stepped so far outside my comfort zone both mentally and physically today I thought I was going to throw up from the anxiety. Any increased pain from the plantar fasciitis piercing my right heel or the Achilles tendinitis throbbing in my left (yes, I’ve been battling both at the same time), would have been excuse enough to call it quits, right? Wrong. I will never give up. It’s not who I am. I’m still in shock, though, that I did it, AND that I ran the entire thing!. (That was the goal I focused on) But I wasn’t alone and I can’t thank them enough. I couldn’t have done it without my lil’ sis running beside me every step of the way, my 5 mile/3x a week cardio buddy, and my friend & coach. You guys know who you are. ❤️ Not to mention the outpouring of support from the rest of my friends and family. I had a guardian angel sitting on my shoulder too, pushing me forward. My Dad was a fantastic jogger, free spirit, and leaf on the wind. I miss him so much. This one was for him. Now on to the next 5k, stronger, faster, and f&ck yeah!

..but first! back to the #writingcave I go until the next #5k
