It's been 5 years....

 I still miss you.

Love Mama.

I set my last PR at this race in 2019.  I've run this race since then, and I finally broke that time after 4 years.  My times were up and down, until this year.  I have trained so hard to cut of 53 seconds.  

Got injured at the end of 2020 and have been working on healing since then.  At the end of 2022 I started feeling like myself.  Regardless of this injury, I never stopped working.  In 2021 - the end of 2022 my race times weren't what I expected. Constantly disappointed with myself.   

Emotionally I was broken because of things not running related, but I continued to push and do the work.

Change happens when you least expect it, and I am finally happy.  Not because of the results, but because the journey that took me here.  You know all the steps you took, the work you put in, and although most people just see the time.  I see everything else.  I also know I have more in me, and I'm going to keep working.

Happiness comes from within, and I'm working on that as well.  I can finally say that I am truly happy.  Not complacent, or content, I'm actually happy these days.

Thanks for reading.
