This weekend I had another birthday...we all do. I started the day at 4:30 in the morning. This year for my birthday I decided to participate in the Iron Girl 5K. I wanted to bring in my new year doing something that was symbolic to what I have achieved. One year ago I would not have made it across the finish line. One year ago I weighed 100 pounds more than I do today. It was amazing. 2700 women celebrating different hurdles crossed. 2700 women going on the same journey, different routes, but same journey. I finished the race in 48.1 minutes. I beat my last 5K by 5 minutes. I felt great as I ran across that finish line. I do not even recognize the girl I was a year ago. Even emotionally things are different. I am more self aware, more confident. Relationships that hurt so bad are even different this year. Amazingly different this year has turned out to be. I am excited for what it holds. I look forward to looking back next year and celebrating the new things I will see. Life is good! I am still real, I am still okay.
