It feels great to have completed a few things on my 40 before 40 bucket list. I'm working on some currently but my biggest challenge so far is the 5K Run. I've never been into fitness or sports so that's why this is such a big deal for me.
I started with drinking more water, then walking, next jogging and finally running. I still can't run a complete mile but slow progress is still progress. Also, I have a great support system that pushes me and motivates me to do better. This makes all the difference in the world to me because without them I would find every excuse not to push harder.
Until recently I was training but had no idea what run I would register for. Then a few weeks ago while surfing the Internet I found the perfect 5K: Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation's (ALSF)- The Lemon Run. It's a 5K to help with research and treatments for childhood cancer. So, I have decided to complete 2 of my bucket list items with this one event. Not only will I be running, I will also be raising funds for ALSF through Briana's Soles of Love.
This event is more than just a run; it's personal. I will be running this race in honor of our Princess Briana McBride who lost her battle with Neuroblastoma at the age of 6. What makes it even more special is that the run takes place November 8, the day before her birthday.
In the beginning I was training without a true purpose. Now, I have a mission to complete. It won't be easy but it will definitely be worth it.
