Ever since my knee injury last November, surgery in December, and painful physical therapy since then...I have been determined...to make a full recovery and to never, ever take my physical well being for granted again. Last Friday, I took a leap of faith that I was ready to celebrate the end of the healing process (although I'm not officially 100%, but really close!) and signed up at the last minute to run in the 5K Passion for Life race. So, on Saturday morning, I ran.
It was so so cold.
But it was a bright sunshiny day with a beautiful view of the lake.
I was so excited to get started...
and even more excited to finish and come in 6th out of 35 runners in my age group!
The best part of the day by far was that the organization raised over $11,000 for the children's hospital. How awesome is that?!?
With every step I took, I felt so overwhelmingly grateful to have the ability to do what I was doing...and I'm pretty sure I had a smile on my face the entire time. It was a really good day.
