This is a wild and crazy thing....LIFE

So as you can imagine today went totally unexpected again.  May I say life can throw curve balls at the funniest times.  First all  my sisters are back in the race.  Yippee!  I am so excited to be doing this!  I am still in awe that I am even at this point.  I have RA, high blood pressure, possibly hypoglycemia, still recovering from Bacterial Meningitis, migraines, endometriosis pain, not to mention the 268lbs.  Ya know, I really wanted to do 2 miles tonight and prove to myself that I am awesome.  The truth is I am awesome and I did not do 2 miles.  I am going to have to work on my thoughts about myself.  I say "I cant do this" alot.  Well, it was raining this morning when I got up and got ready for our run.  We canceled until the after noon and then we were tired and decided to wait until tonight.  OK, have we heard this from me before.....yea, it doesn't work for me!  However, I changed my thought and decided to go no matter how late and or dark!  Turns out things fell into place after I made this my goal.  The neighbor said she would stay at our house and Cris and I could go together.  How fabulous was this!!!!!  I have not EVER exercised with Cris.  It was fantastic.  I think I want to do this at least once a week.  We laughed and hurt and talked the entire time.  Ya know after 12 years of being with one person you gain a distance without knowing it.  Tonight felt like we were the obnoxious engaged couple just going for a walk(a fast walk and run).  I am at the top of my happiness.  We pushed each other and what was to be a 1 mile run/walk turned out to be a 1.70 mile run/walk.  I am so blessed to have so many people supporting me.  Thank you for listening when I write my musings here.  I know that this one event has changed my life forever!  It is hard to say that about many things and there are few in my life I can say that about.  This is one!  Adopting my three children was one!  Marrying my Cris was one!  Deciding to run an impossibly hard and long half marathon is one, one I will forever be changed from and one I owe almost entirely to my sisters who are pushing just like me!  Thanks Renea, Rhonda and Robin-Go A team!    Bye
