Well I can honestly say I am proud of myself today! I had a goal and I achieved it. Many of you know that I used to jog in the old days.... maybe even up to about 3 years ago. But, then I developed bone spurs and had too much foot pain to do anything but get out of shape and pudgy. Well my surgery at Christmas to remove the bone spurs was a success and in May of this year I was back to the gym. On July 15th I set a goal that by the end of August I would run from my place to the Cove which is about 8 or 9 km. In the meantime, my neighbor Ily and I decide we would sign up for the 5km/10km annual race on Bowen called Run For The Ferry. Ily has really been able to motivate me! She hasn't been a runner though, so we only started to train for our run the first week of August, starting with about a 1.5km run.. we ran twice a week, with our last practice run just 2 days ago. Today was the big day and we finished the 5km challenge in 31 minutes and 15 seconds. We ROCK!!!!! Now my real goal to run to the Cove still has to happen... and it will!!!
