Great Strides

5k - blew it away! 

Last Sunday my family, friends and I laced up and sashayed our way over pavement and through a park (looking cool the entire time, of course) for CF. 

Get ready to fall over.  

I jogged. 

Yup. 

That's right. 

The entire 5k. 

Ok.......

Perhaps that's a bit of a stretch. I likely only jogged several hundred feet but whoa!! I kept up to my sister and my new chunkers didn't even fight me. 

I have cooperating lungs! That's a bit insane. Insanity is what it is. 

One year ago, I was huffing and puffing away, throwing my possessions into suitcases.  I was Toronto bound and in no shape to do the CF walk. 

I didn't know if I'd be home  to do it. Hell, I didn't know anything about my future. 

Fast forward a year and here I am cutting the ribbon for the walk and keeping up with everyone else. I even did stairs. 

I must confess. I did the walk and it was great and all, but I was having a very bad hair day. It's very sad.

Let's take a moment. 

............

Ok. I'm good. 

That was tough to swallow. But it's good I got it out. Acknowledged it. And now I can move on. 

I feel very honoured, as our local CF chapter made me the honourary chairperson for Great Strides. It's nice that they recognize talent - I wield a mean scissor. (Scissors?) 

Thanks so much to my team. It was awesome fun and I can't wait to do it again next year. With team shirts. Cause that would for sure up the coolness factor.
