i just got back
speechless. that was my first actual running event. it was beyond amazing. the energy was awesome.
i think i finished 6.2 miles in an hour and ten minutes..i find out exactly how long i took tonight. im just guesstimating it took that long.
but regardless im pretty damn proud of myself considering this has been my first event. it was raining, there were water puddles EVERYWHERE. i got drenched..especially my shoes. it wasn't pouring by any means but it was decently wet all around.
i am soooo freaking HIGH. when i thought i coudlnt go on anymore because of the rain, like once my shoes got completely drenched i was like, that's it..im going to end up slipping but man, PROPS TO NEW BALANCE. my shoes were awesome alhamdulillah. they are ALLL dirty, something im not used to cuz who runs outdoors when it's raining? BUT it's just a sign of my achievement. anyway the power of positive group energy is just beyond words...so when i thought i couldnt go on anymore (bc of the shoes mostly..energy level was fine) i was uplifted byt he people and little kids and BABIES cheering on the sidelines
ahhhhh masha'Allah i feel so unbelievably alive
im totally doing this again. and again and again. i know what i like doing..this is it. RUNNING IS PASSION.
im signing up for a half marathon insha'Allah.. i might not run the whole thing, i might walk
like some of the 13.2 miles but i know i have it in me.
when i got to the finish line i felt like a million dollars.

alhamdulillah
