This time I trained with Black Girls Run, Raleigh/ Durham. I still ended up hurt but only because I wanted to play co-ed touch football. (My never I managed to heal myself enough to participate. Not only that, but I sliced the back of my heel leaving the steam room 1 day before I had to run. Talk about bad luck :( . It didn't matter , I was so close, I bandaged myself up and pressed on. During the race, I was snapping pictures, dancing to music on my ipod as I did my run 2 mins/ walk 1 min intervals. I started feeling it the last 2 miles. I was tired but my will and my friend Wanida, would not let me quit. By quit, I mean walk the rest of the way. I don't quit in the traditional sense, It's not in my DNA. After coming around the bin, we sprinted in toward the finish line and I immediately thanked GOD because, honey chile...exactly.
I feel sooo powerful. I'm a goal-oriented person, so being able to successfully complete tasks pumps me up. It took me a little longer, but I made it. Today I'm wearing my Diva shirt. I'm not really hurting , aside from the arch in my foot. I'm amazed because I swore I would be sore for days.
This is apart of my healthy lifestyle. I don't only do it for me, I do it for we, remember ? I am by no means perfect but my genetic makeup makes me susceptible to certain diseases that can be avoided with proper nutrition and exercise. I want to be around for a long time and though I indulge, I manage it.
What accomplishments have you made lately ? What are your goals ?
Viva, folks, viva !!!
