Unlocking the Potential!!

I just posted this to my achievements, but I wanted it here too.  I want to remind myself as much as possible how far I have come and how much excitement I feel at this moment about what life has in store for me.  And of course, to share with as many people as possible.  The joy just keeps growing and growing and I simply have to share otherwise I am sure I would explode!!

I better write this down before I don't!

Hard to believe that such a huge accomplishment for me, and only a few days ago, could go unwritten and unshared here.  I have told so many of my friends and supporters!!

I ran ten kilometres!!  I haven't done that since I was 18 years old.  As I turn 34 in about a week- that is just awesome!!

But even more so, I had really thought I would never do so again.  After I had my daughter, I kept putting on weight and ended up at 127kg after I lost my last baby.  I was so big, I actually grieved that I would always be this way and that I would never ever run again or play sport.

I just ran ten k this week!!!  I was in shock for a good 24 hours, and then it sunk in.  I did it!  I actually did it!!  Then I couldn't sleep I was so excited!!!

My goal to run a marathon now seems so so achievable.

It was funny too you know, I got on the beach and then I suddenly thought 'Today's the day'- I had made the goal at the start of this year to run to the end of our beach (about 8 kms return) by the end of the year.  And I've done it!  With the help of tools and the inspiration I have had from others.

And more than anything, it is a representation of what my life is to me now.  So very very precious- each moment, each day is a truly tremendous gift.  I used to want to die.  I used to be suicidal and wish I could escape.  Now I cannot even comprehend the beauty of this lifetime.

If I can do this, I can do anything.  Towards the end of my run when I was feeling the burn, I kept saying this word to myself over and over "Unlock, unlock, unlock"  I am unlocking the potential, the power, the beauty, the joy, the love that I have locked away inside for too long.

I am truly grateful, but really there are simply just no words to describe what I am experiencing in my life right now.

Blessings and great love to everyone
