I love following eveyones blogs and I've thought it would be fun to write one on how i feel about things, but i'm not so great on computers, but I tried it so here goes my first post,
I've had a few hobbies in the past crafts mainly,I loved following the boys in their sports, watching Mike with archery. I even started shooting a bow hunting and everything, because it was a great way to spend time with Mike kinda if you cant beat them join them.
But this year I have found my own passion running! I have always looked at people running and wished i could do that and longed to feel the freedom that must bring! It hasnt come easy but I try and push myself. To be able to reach the goal of running in a 5k and completing it was a huge deal for the self-esteem of a 47 year old women who feels 30.
Some people may thing whats the big deal! with my bipolar I really struggle some days to even get up and this has really given me something to look forward to on a bad day and my meds also make my muscles ache so I have to work through that. I'm not looking for pity at all but just for understanding way this is such a big deal to me and the biggest thing is that it's MY THING!!!!! my hobbie! at 47 I finally have my own thing!!!!! if i can reach this goal anyone can do it!!!!!!
I also love that I can do it with my brothers I might not keep up but I can feel the love!:)
Your crazy! I run cuz I have to. I know what you mean about the freedom thing. "No games just sports". I kinda hope one day I'll actually enjoy running and get good at it too.
ReplyDeleteIs it too early to talk "Harmon Family" Ragnar Relay Race next year? We should definetly do another run together besides the Memorial.
