I accomplished one of my goals this past weekend. I completed my very first 5K with obstacles. Thanks to my best friend for encouraging me to join her.
It was such an amazing experience - one that I can't wait to repeat.
It is in those moments that I realize my strength - literally and figuratively.
With each obstacle completed it was an affirmation that I am a survivor.
I have survived life. I have survived loss. I will survive this.
Overwhelming happiness is the only way to express how I felt when I reached that finish line.
I had to trudge through a mud pit thick and deep. With each pull, each thrust forward, I knew that right now I'm still swimming in the mud.
Unlike Sunday, I have let myself sort of flail around without much progression. I have lost sight of my goals and what it is that I have set for myself. No more.
Tomorrow I will be turning over a new leaf - finally. Hm, perhaps I should give myself a break. Tomorrow will be another step taken in the right direction.
It is not my job to change someone's opinion of me. I am who I am and if you cannot accept that or remember that - oh well.
I know what my issues are and I realize that until I address them, I will never be free to really move forward. It is high time that I find a solution. I was not able to conquer my issues before, but I'm a different person.
This time I have an amazing support system in place and I have crossfit.
