MY NUMBER ONE FAN!

I just wanted to share a little story with you
So as alot of you know I am a mother of three beautiful little girls. I began my journey in February 2011 with the hopes of getting back down what I weighed when I got married. Because of my great will power and my drive to succeed it has not taken me that long, I am just about at my goal Anyway......Yesterday morning I decided to only run 4 miles instead of my usual 7 because of the heat. As evening approached my daughter Shayla (age 9) who has been my rock, motivator, and number one fan says to me "mommy how many miles did you run today"? I said 4 Shay. She says " mommy can you take me on a bike ride while you run"? MIND YOU IT IS 97 degrees outside with like 90% humidity! I say Shay it is really HOT out and I already ran 4 miles today, but if you want to go we can. I told her, I dont know how far I can go but we will play it by ear as we go! So we set out... The first mile was fine, the second was hard, by the third mile I was a hot mess wanting to lay in the ditch. SO mile 4 comes, we are only a mile from home! I want to quit totally give up, and then my Shay starts rooting me on. "Come on mommy you can do it!" "mommy! grace, power, strength, grace, power, strength" "go mommy go you can do it" "DONT quit mommy you are strong!" That little girl rooted me on for a mile straight! With tears in my eyes because I was proud of me for not quitting BUT more so proud as hell for being that little girls mommy I made it home. It was the HARDEST run of my life, but one that I will NEVER forget! THANK YOU SHAYLA for your motivation I would have NEVER been able to do it with out you!
