Thank you for your prayers…they came on me like lightning tonight, and I literally hit the floor running…
About 9:30pm…I was in bed, on my laptop. Reading blogs, and comments…when I decided I was hungry. Got up, went into the kitchen and grabbed a couple of grapes…and then all of a sudden…it hit me, like a lightning bolt.
I want to go to the gym. I want to workout! My BS buddies and their prayers had grabbed a hold of me and pulled me out of my funk!!! Woop woop.
So I got dressed…FAST…and went. It was raining…been storming all night. Lots of lightning.
I didn’t know what to expect. After a week of rest and in the wake of TOM…I was afraid and preparing myself mentally…it is ok…just do the best you can. Thinking I had probably slipped all the way back down the mountain.
So I got on the treadmill and started wogging to week one of the podrunner. It was easy. Seriously. I was surprised!!!
Sooooo….I just kept on wogging…after 2 miles…I said, I think I will wog some more and what the hay, why don’t I just go ahead do a 5k and call it my own race for the cure, for my lazy butt…dedicated to my buds at BS: ) I felt like Forrest…run Chrisie…run!
I just know it was them prayers! I felt them….I really did. THANK YOU!!!!!
AND Jillian’s advice was good. My legs felt strong! Not tired…rested and rearing to go! Measured my calves this week and they have gotten 2 inches bigger…each! Can you say MUSCLE!
When I got back home, I couldn’t wait to tell all of you, so I got online…AND wouldn’t you know it…one of my buddies had sent me a booster…and it was a rainbow…
Thought I’d send you a Rainbow to tide you over till you are able to find your own.
A rainbow a beach and an ocean. Does it get anymore perfect than that?
God is good…all the time…all the time….God is good!
Love you all…and so grateful for each and EVERYONE of you!!!!!!!
That’s awesome. I’m so proud of you!!! I was feeling hungry too, got some good comments and encouragement and decided to do some research instead. Didn’t eat a thing. Guess I wasn’t so hungry after all. Congrats again! You did something great.
