    Great story!! Isn't it amazing how just when you need it most (and sometimes don't even know you need it) something happens that helps put everything into perspective?

    My moment like this was around mile 11 of my first half marathon. I was struggling and thinking holy crap I can't do one more step. I turned a corner and up in front of me I saw a soldier in fatigues and battle gear humping along carrying a pack that probably weighed at least 20 lbs. This was the beginning of March in Dallas so it wasn't face of the sun hot but it was a warm sticky day and the humidity was killing me in my shorts and tank top. I could only imagine what that soldier was going through. He was running for the Wounded Warrior Project - running for all of the soldiers that can't run anymore.

    God kinda put me in my place. I quit my complaining and was thankful for every painful step to the finish line!!

    Beautiful story. Life is all about perspective, and you clearly have a bright outlook for your future.

    And I must say, I love when you have little moments that force you to push yourself just a little harder, like you increasing your pace to catch up to the lady. I remember early in my weight-loss journey, I went out for a long walk. I had planned a route that I think was just a few miles. I remember I got to the point where I was supposed to turn right and head home but up ahead of me was a huge hill. I realized, tired as I may be, I had to go up that hill. I huffed and puffed my way up it, and what did I find when I got to the top? Just a little ways ahead was yet another hill. Either I had to turn back or keep going. I kept going. I ended up on the top of a hill that overlooks the city both north and south of it. The smog didn't make it the most beautiful sight, but I realized at that moment that nothing could stop me, and nothing has. Those little moments are precious.

    I love this :)
