Flashback Friday

Thanks for all your comments yesterday, especially those of you who went back to read my very first post to learn a little about how this all started almost four years ago.

I love to look back at how far I've come and where this journey has taken me.

Just for fun, I thought I'd start a little feature called Flashback Friday to share some old posts. I feel like I'm sharing a page from my diary!

Let's start with this one; it's a shorty:

Now THAT is Determination (March 15, 2007)

It was still mild after work yesterday so I decided to skip the gym and go for another run outside with Mark. But of course, it started raining just as we were leaving. I nearly chickened out, but Mark convinced me to go for it anyway. And of course, it didn't just rain. It POURED. You have to understand, I don't do rain. Being outside in the rain is about my least favourite thing to do. It's right above being outside in a blizzard. With bare feet. So... this is a big deal!

We took a different 5 KM route with even more hills. There was one giant hill right near the end and I actually had to look down at the sidewalk and take it one square at a time. When I looked up, all I could think was I am never going to make it up this hill! But I made it, one square at a time. It turns out we ran even faster than the day before. We did it in 31 minutes, average speed of 5.5 mph. My legs are S-O-R-E this morning.

Everybody has to start somewhere!

Do you like to look back on your old blog posts? Feel free to play along!

Have a great weekend!
