Saturday I ran seven miles. It was the most lonely, physically exhausting and challenging run I've completed so far. I wanted to quit so badly toward the last mile of the run. The balls of my feet hurt, my back hurt and my water supply was depleted by the beginning of mile six. I almost cracked under the pressure of finishing but I made it.
It's a good thing I've already registered and paid for the race because after Saturday I was ready to call it all off. I have started re-reading my earlier posts to remind myself why I am doing this. I still don't have all the answers as to why but I feel like this is something I just need to do. I will keep pushing forward because I know I am capable of finishing this training program and this race. I know God is still with me and I knew this wouldn't be easy. I will not let this defeat me.
About Me
- Sarah
- I am in my 30s and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I feel like I've always been searching for answers and I probably always will be. I'm comfortable with the mystery of life and I try to embrace each moment. I frequently get "teased" for noticing and commenting on little things like how the dew makes the grass shimmer in the morning when the sun hits it just right. I don't mind when people find it odd that I notice the little things; at least they aren't passing me by.
