Less than a week away

I'm not a religious blogger. I have friends who update every day. That kind of commitment is brilliant to me. And truly not my talent.

That being said, I have a lot to catch you all up on.

I participated in the Fort Wayne Diva Dash in June. It was the first 5K I ever trained for. I kept motivated by a woman wearing pink argyle socks. She was in my site the entire way. Close to the end, another woman caught up to me to tell me she was using my shirt  to stay motivated. On the back it says, "If I can finish, you can finish." We all crossed the finish line together, holding hands.

I finished in the middle with a pace of 14:48. I was proud.

After the race, several people came up to me saying I motivated them. I was so moved. After so many people have inspired and motivated me, I now am the motivator.

Six weeks later, I walked my last three miles today. The Warrior Dash is on Sunday. The costumes are finished, the hotel is booked, and best of all, I am ready. All the ups and downs, literal hills and mental moutains, have led to this. I am only competing with myself. My goals? To simply finish, try my hardest and HAVE FUN!

P.S. The picture is of my morning route. I love how quiet it is, the moon setting with the sun rising. Beautiful!
