Soooo, tonight I ran in my first race. I am soooo freaking stoked!! I’ve made a regular habit of lifting, cycling, swimming and running…but I still wasn’t confident with running on asphalt or concrete for distances more than 1 mile speed training thanks to my knee and being incredibly afraid of ever damaging it again.
EVEN if you asked me at my fittest as a gymnast if I thought I would ever run a race…I would have said “HELLS NO.” Needless to say I’m pretty stoked right now because I got to get out there with cool people (Jeff-new friend, Ray-old friend, that’s me on the right), have a blast, and accomplish something that I not only never thought I would do…but something my doctors told me I would never do…CAN’T is not going to be a part of my vocabulary anymore.
