tomorrow i'm running a 5k+happy {blog}birthday to rachel
Have you ever done something and then went, "Wow, I never thought I could do that"? Because tomorrow I'm doing one of those things I never thought I could do. I'm running a 5k.
I'm not athletic. I never played sports, I only like yoga as a form of exercise, I hate the gym with all its confusing equipment. But tomorrow morning at 8am in Greenville, SC I'm running in a race. There will be a lot of other people running who will be much faster than me because I'm still not as trained as I wanted to be. A few setbacks during training kind of messed up my schedule.
But even though I'm not going to be great at it, and it's going to be hard, and I might look ridiculous doing this thing where my feet go faster and my arms move too but not in great form because I'm not coordinated, I'm doing it. And that feels pretty great.
I'm nervous as all getout but I'm not backing out. Unless I wake up with the black plague tomorrow, I'm running this race. I'm not going to win. But I'm going to run. And for me, that's a pretty massive victory.
Speaking of victories, my sweet friend Rachel is celebrating one today! Her lovely blog is turning 2, and I would say that's a pretty big accomplishment! Blogging for 2 years is difficult. Blogging seriously is a lot of work. However, it is such rewarding work, and she is celebrating with something very special: a giveaway!
A big thanks to all these lovely ladies for celebrating my blog's birthday and helping to make this giveaway possible! Make sure and give them some love!
