as many of you know i decided to begin the new year with a bang. amidst over 950 others, counting down to midnight, then bang! we are off, tripping over each other yelling and screaming bringing in 2007. i was really nervous about my goal of running the whole way and being under 45 minutes. i made it in 37:59. i even ran the whole way! i did so much better than i thought i would. it was hard at first(having to remind myself constantly to keep pace) because many were passing me, buutt halfway through i started passing people. there was a woman who looked to be about my age. they whole time she would run, get ahead of me, then walk and fall back, then run and get ahead and so on. near the end she caught up to me and said she wanted to finish with me. i inspired her because i ran the whole way. how incredible is that?! what a way to start a new year! this last year was the best year i have ever had. i have done TONS of groundwork to live a joyful and full life. i am looking forward to this year to be even better than last.
here's to a new year….
