Challenging morning! 10k in a beautiful park that evoked so many emotions. Happy, playful, complete confusion, anger, failure, utter sadness, fun loving, hopeless and grateful. Had I known what I know now I would have told Kim "HELL NO" when she asked if I was interested in doing 6ish miles amongst the trees on a Saturday that ended in a beer fest. But, all kidding aside, I feel empowered that I crossed the finish line. (And yes, proudly wearing my blue-I-can-do-anything cape).
I don't care about my pace, or time, and who finished before or after me. It was a huge accomplishment that I will embrace.
Thanks to Jason Mraz and his 'Selection for Friends' on shuffle. He got me through previously said emotions and allowed me to play in the MASSIVE MUD and feel free while I wasn't cursing.... dreading the mileage my watch displayed... or yelling "I'm so over this". It was a challenge. I came. I saw. I crossed that finish line. I drank beer. Oh, and I saw the look on my husband's face of encouragement as him and his cute butt passed me on the trail giving me the reminder that we were all on this adventure together.
