April 2013 I did something I NEVER thought I could, would, or want to do in my life. To some it might seem like such and easy thing but for someone like me it was a huge deal. I ran a half marathon this day and beat my PR by 45 minutes. I set a goal to do something and I followed through and accomplished it. The biggest rush of emotions went through my body when I hit the last mile of my run. I've never been a runner, nor ever had the desire to try it. If you know me at all you know I'm a pretty stocky built woman, not built to run. I worked my butt off (not literally but wouldn't that have been nice! This chick got booty) I had total doubt that I would be able to even run the whole thing, I thought for sure I would be walking at least half of the race. I RAN THE ENTIRE THING. Hitting that finish line made me feel at that moment in time I was in complete control, I was on top of the world. I can't tell you the last time I've ever felt so in control of my own life, my own happiness.
Still at the end of the race I went into panic mode when everyone offered me carb loaded treats to eat, Ed was still there trying to get to me but I refused to let him ruin that day for me. Having my family at the end of the race to see me accomplish something that meant so much to me was soo cool. My family is always there at my side to help me through my battles always supportive and not losing hope that one day I will be free of Ed. Now I'm working on training for my next half marathon then a few months after that I'll be running my very first marathon! It might take me an entire day to finish it but I will do what it takes to have that sweet moment of success at the finish line. Next time you decide you want something in your life but think it could never happen realize that you CAN! it's possible, your mind gives up so much faster than your body does.
