"You can say I'm not a runner, and you can tell me I'm not running a "real race." Say you can't make the time to come see me race...I'm making it all fuel for when I'm pounding the pavement, so keep it coming, haters!"
This was my Facebook status last Friday morning. I got 22 responses to that post, probably the most I've received since announcing my daughter's birth a year ago.
Even though I didn't write that post as a way to shop for compliments and encouragement, that's what I got a TON of. I am amazed, in awe, and am so touched by all of you who sent me support and love. Thank you.
And to all of you who said you're running now because of my posts. Again, thank you. I think of you all running along side me on those dark, chilly mornings, so thanks for keeping me company.
Six days. That's all that's between me and my first 5K (SuperHero 5K). I'll be working on my costume this week, adding music to my iPod, and envisioning the finish line, surrounded by my supporters.
