I Ran for the cure On Sunday!! Even though I didn't sleep well It felt great!! I have never been able to run really fast and have even struggled with walking in the past without getting winded ... this time I ran as much as I could around people ... there was 3500 people there and I got stuck somewhere in the middle and it was hard to get around some people ... Hills are still not my Best friends but as I was walking the hills in the run I was reflecting on the past ... I used to get just as winded walking in the past on flat land or even going down hill as I was walking up that hill ... even more so ... I seen that I came far and am still working on getting better... There were 3 hills on the walk ... the first was the hardest ... the second not as bad ... and the third I was almost to the top b4 I realized I was walking it ... there were soo many people who took shorter paths .. who cut off the road and went on the trail so they could avoid that last hill ... I was def not going there ... to me that was cheating .. not that there was strict rules as it was not a "Race" more a charity event!! .... the last 1/2 km the roads were all torn up due to the recent hurricane so I had to take my time due to all the "ankle Twisting" rocks ... but the finish line was on pavement so I ran across the finish line ... I was soo surprised that the biggest shirt they had was a XL ... so I took it ... tried it on .. and it fit ... I was sooo surprised (I think they are a big make tho) ... I did it it under an hour 54 mins to be exact .... I am proud ... next year it will be alot faster!!
