(in no particular order)
- Zachary and Annabelle ran their first 5Ks with me, not because I suggested it or encouraged it, but simply because they wanted to be a part of everything that running has brought to my life.
- I touched Richie Sambora's AND Jon Bon Jovi's hands during concerts!!!
- I bought my house, even though I had to go through the entire mortgage process twice.
- I finalized my divorce, closing one of the most difficult chapters of my life.
- I ended a relationship with someone who I loved very much - twice.
- I finished the last 2 miles of a Spartan Race with a broken ankle, not skipping one obstacle or burpee!
- I re-learned what it's like to have to wait for your paycheck to come in before you can pay a bill or buy Christmas presents.
- I learned that prayer and positive thinking can get you through even the very worst of times.
- I cried at work in front of my co-workers - more than once.
- I've proven to myself (and hopefully others) that what does not kill us really does make us stronger.
XOXO
