Well as most of you know I've been freaking out about the commitment that I made to do a 10K walk/race with my friend Pam. Well I survived . . no sore legs or knees a small blister on my little toe . . . yes I'm being a baby!
The weather was beautiful and despite the killer hill that lasted for a mile and a half I did it in 1:44 . . . I thought it would take me about 2 1/2 hours . . . and if I finished any better I was going to reward myself with a Pandora Bracelet . . which I'm now sporting.
A bonus for the weekend is I got to see a life long friend and visit with her and her husband, if only briefly.
I could have never imanaged 3 years ago and over 300 lbs I would be able to climb a hill let alone walk a 10k race . . . gastric bypass was not the easy way out but I feel like it has given me my life back!
I have thought for the last year or so that I was content to be the weight and strength I am but after this past weekend I know that I have the ability to be more, do more and push myself more and who'd figured at almost 52 I'd finally be coming into myself. Gosh just think what I will be able to do in 10 more years . . .
WHAT WOULD YOU ATTEMPT TO DO IF YOU KNEW YOU COULD NOT FAIL?
