Well people in a week I will be turning 27!!!!! This past year has been so meaningful for me. So many opportunities came my way that I wasn't ever expecting.
First, I was able to lose over 30 pounds which was a huge milestone that I faced. It wasn't only a physical transformation but an overall transformation of my spiritual, emotional being. I gained so much more than I ever thought possible..
Running has been my life. It has given me the opportunity to meet so many amazing people who have helped me to stay motivated to move forward in my journey. It has also been an escape when I need to get rid of some negative energy or feelings. It truly has been a saving grace and I think it will be in my life until I have too many injuries to run through.
Secondly, I was given an opportunity at my current job to apply for a promotion to work at night. I went back and forth on whether or not to apply but decided that it was the right decision and I ended up getting the job. It has been a positive experience but it has also been a bit hard to stay focused and motivated with the training with running due to my sleeping schedule but I still try to make time for my runs because I have strong hopes of running my first full marathon this upcoming April due to the encouragement of Josh Hansen who might not be my friend at the finish line! lol
As much as this post is very jumbled the one thing that I have learned is this: We often in life place blames on circumstances out of our control. We wonder why things happen to good people, why we have to face trials and why things don't work out the way that we want.
To be perfectly honest I have felt these same emotions. I had to go through a big heart ache this past year and wondered why things didn't work out for me but I know that trials are meant to make us stronger."what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!" I do want my happy ending. I do want to find my better half but I know that when I do it will all be worth it in the end because he won't only be the luckiest guy but I will be the luckiest girl. I am so excited for this next year of my life because I feel that some amazing adventures will be among me and I already know one will be to run a marathon, secondly I hope to go to grad school and third maybe I will find my better half but all I will say now....is he better be ready to run run run run!
Love ya all! enjoy the journey
