Only 7 More to Go....

Today's Happy is 2 part Happy, the second part with come tomorrow.
PART 1 -

Today I am Happy when I think of this organization. I have to admit I hope none of my "readers" are intimately familiar with this for obvious reasons but on the other hand, I hope everyone has some knowledge of how amazing they are.

I have been wanting to run forever, in fact when I was about 21 I wrote a list of Things to Do Before I Turn 30. In one of my many many many moves over the years I lost the list that was posted right on my fridge for all to see but I read it so many times I have most of them memorized. Since I am over 30 the list title has now changed to Things to Do Before I am 40 but the idea is still the same.

One of those is to "Be a Runner" this was actually number 1 on my list. Years and years later I am still not a "runner" but I am still trying. Tomorrow is my first 5k. I am running (well let's be totally honest here, I don't RUN, I am more of a jogger, or old man shuffler if you will) in this 5k.

I am so excited to be a part of this. Every single part of this process so far has been so fun. The people are amazing, it feels SO good to be a part of something this great. I have spent some time reading the background and some of the success and survivor stories. They are truly amazing strong brave women. I am in awe of the respect and love the organization gives the survivors. I can not say enough nice things about this process.

Tomorrow morning my time will not be good (I didn't even bother paying the $5 for the timer chip). I will not run the whole thing. I am very very nervous. I have worked hard to try and train. I already am planning my next 5k and what I will do different. I did not raise the most money for the cause. I have realistic goals for tomorrow morning BUT I am so so happy that my first 5k (which also is the first step to fulfilling a goal I have) is part of such an amazing thing.

I am proud of participate in the Race for Cure tomorrow morning.
