Thank you to my blogging/running buddy Jennifer at One Step at a Time for giving me the nicest award!
So now I need to somehow summarize my blogging philosophy and experiences in five words.
How about this?
I am amazing, but never perfect.
Hmm.... right idea, BUT --- I think I have found it!
Rarely perfect, but always AMAZING!!!!
Countless times on this journey to becoming a runner I have become disappointed with myself, or grown impatient because I was holding myself to an unrealistic standard, or expectations. I so easily lose sight of how truly amazing and awesome it is that I AM RUNNING. I actually am RUNNING, and I love it, and it has changed me. I have more confidence (usually) and feel stronger, and like I am in CONTROL of my life. :) It is an exciting time, filled with great successes, and occasional defeats, and always, always, always lacing up the sneakers and getting back out there.
I would adore to pass this award on to Mindy, at 13.1 to go, a lovely runner/blogger that I have recently just discovered through dailyMile. I laughed out loud so many times as I was getting caught up on her last few blog posts. :)
