I did it!!

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
