Last year I never would have imagined that I would be training for a triathlon. Five years ago I never would have imagined that I was capable of running one mile, let alone a five k. (thanks to Paige D for proving me wrong there!).
But tonight, I couldn't wait to pull on my shoes, tuck my son into his jog stroller, and take off on a nice leisurely hour-long loop around my town and its trails. Something about the steady pace of my feet, the rhythmic squeezing of my heart, and moving through the world with some speed makes me feel so alive.
An hour! It's taken me many months to build up to this, but man, does it feel great to be here.
