I know I can do it, because I run that distance every day now. I just can't believe how far I have come. I started running again in September. I could barely walk that far, let alone run a freaking mile! Now I run a minimum of 3 miles a day, and after this 5k will have my eye on the half marathon in February. And then, who knows? Bandit at the Boston Marathon in April?
I know those are pretty big goals, but I have come so far in just a couple months. I finally got the courage to leave and end an abusive relationship 3 months ago. I am finally realizing that I capable of doing ANYTHING I set my mind to. My happiness is important not only for me but for my kids.
I can achieve anything I want to and by golly jolly, I will!
I will leave you with this quote by the lovely Audrey Hepburn
“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”

Nice post! Good for you for setting big goals and good luck on your 5k :)
Great job! You'll do great in that 5K. Very ambitious to shoot for a half in the spring! I just did my first half last weekend, it was the best! Good luck in your race!
Good for you! You can definitely do it - I just started running 9 months ago and will be running my third 5K in a couple weeks. :)
Good job! I want to do one someday.
You go girl I don't even know you and I'm proud of you :)
It's hard leaving a relationship when you care for someone. Hopefully by talking openly about this other women won't stay in a similar situation. And hopefully this man got some kind of punishment for his actions. I commend your strength and positive attitude.
