Glamorous!

Ok ladies, this has to be shared. This morning I woke up, a little late thinking " I need to go for my jog... but I don't want to get out of bed yet" but then I realized, the sooner I get up and get it done with, the sooner I can move on to something else today that's gonna help me "whip it!" So I get up, get dressed, braid my hair and get outside. It's FREEZING here, I live in central west Oregon, so we thankfully have no snow, but below freezing at a frigid 27 degrees. I put on "Evacuate the dance floor" and just flew. I felt like I was floating on my feet and jogged the whole first mile without stopping. I was so proud of myself as I was running, saying to myself, "just look at you go, Brooke. Look at how far you've gone!" Shortly after I realized how good it felt to stretch my lungs and breathe, and feel my heart pound as I was going... I felt a warm tear streak down my cheek. Yep ladies, I cried this morning because when I started doing this whole, "RUN EVERY DAY " thing... I couldn't even go for 100 feet without panting and stopping...and now I'm just go go going... as I got closer to home, I really wanted to give up and just chill... but I kept my eyes on my feet, not on the long road I had left to get to the house, and I notice, as I was looking towards the ground, the leaves looked like big lips, and the frost made everything look so beautiful and GLAMOROUS! I just kept my mind on that instead of how far I had left and before I knew it, I was at our mailbox. ... So long story... but just to know that the harder I pushed myself and how difficult it's been, and how many time's I've wanted to give up, the fact that I didn't and I can do as much as I can now, and the fact I still want to do it again, well it's just amazing. I'm just proud today!!!
