Perseverence

I had the most amazing day on Sunday, October 20, 2013. I ran in the Nike Women's Half Marathon San Francisco. It was an amazing race and meant so much to me. I remember the day I found out that I had been one of the lucky few chosen. I was elated but nothing would've prepared me for how much this race would come to mean to me. To me this race was closure for the rough month I'd experienced. It represented my strength, determination and ability to persevere. It proved to me that I am able to do whatever I decide to. It also showed me that I am my own worst critic and have the least faith in myself.

I cried several times over that 13.1 miles. I cried for the baby I lost. I cried for the part of me that died with it. I cried for my son, husband and for the hurt. I also cried because I was doing it. I was running this half marathon. To me it represented my strength and perseverance. It represented how I will not let all the BS life throws at me conquer me. I will overcome all challenges and stand above them with my hands raised saying I CAN DO IT AND NOTHING WILL STOP ME.
