We Rocked, We Rolled...

The Rock n Roll Marathon came and went yesterday . I did the " Mini". It should be called " Almost a 5k"as it's 3 miles. It was fun to be honest. Just enough to participate. I mostly walked, I jogged a little. I am not supposed to really. But sometimes I just can't help myself. What's the point of trying if you can't do all those " never could " things?
So I jogged some. And it was great . My knees were fine! I know they are basically junk, but yesterday , they were fine. And I wasn't out of breath, and I wasn't the biggest one there. You know we big girls look FIRST for that.

Strangely I felt at home. This from a girl who would do anything to get out of PE as a kid. I look around at an event, and mind you I am not the youngest, thinnest or fastest by any stretch of the imagination. But I belong there. Because I get it, and what it means. I am no longer uneasy in those places . Because i now know my biggest competition will forever be myself.

I do it, because I CAN , whatever it may be that day.

And yesterday , it was awesome.
