Another one bites the dust…. half marathon off my list

 

Half Marathon!!
 
I’ve been thinking about this blog for a while and finally have gotten around to completing it.  This has been a journey that has developed over the past three years, believe it or not.  So I see it only fit to start back at that time.  The spring after my son was born, a good friend of mine encouraged me to get out and start running with her.  She too, had a daughter the same age, and it was a good excuse to get out and enjoy our new lives with kids.  I’m not going to sugar coat this, because taking this step was effin hard!  I never enjoyed running, as my previous posts have mentioned, and I would avoid it at all costs when I was training in highschool for rowing.  I despised it with great passion.  But, I figured this would be a great way to help shed some baby weight that was lingering, and really still is.  I was only able to run about 100 meters at this point and had … needed to walk in between.  My mind was going crazy trying to convince my body that this was insane. I could not do this! My body was trying to tell my mind, that it was insane. I was crazy to think I could do this.

I would like to do this, but when…. things happen right, job, kids, life really.  Then one day, out of the blue it happened. The opportunity came up and presented itself.  A friend of mine, whom I also play soccer with, had signed up through the Skydive Gan company out of Gananoque.  They were hosting a fundraiser event for Make a Wish foundation.  She posted through Facebook, no one was biting on her offer to drive with her, and even I had thought of it and figured it wasn’t doable with my hubby possibly having plans.

Bucket Lists

Bucket lists….something I’m sure everyone has going, if not physically written down, then inside their head.  I am amazed at some of the items that I have added and checked off.  My list is more in my head right now, but debating adding a physical copy, well, electronic copy really.
