Today I did NOT WANT to get up!!! I took Sunday off and Monday, and I was actually considering taking today off as well. I even laid there in bed for an extra half hour trying to go back to sleep, so I'd have an excuse for NOT getting up and going to the gym. But then I thought about all those people who have been standing behind me pushing me or supporting me, and I thought, why should I disappoint them, as well as myself!!!! I thought about my friend Sheri Brecht, how she has worked hard at losing 30lbs and managed to keep it off as well. I thought about how awesome SHE has been in supporting ME. And I thought about how just yesterday she declared to the entire facebook world {now that's bravery!!} that she is getting back at it and going to work toward finishing her goal of 40lbs lost. Even though she looks great, she's going to finish this thing she started. And I decided, what kind of friend would I be to her if I stayed in bed and skipped another day??? When I struggle to continue running I think about the people out there in my life, like Sheri who are supporting me and encouraging me. Without them I may not have made it, so who am I to give up??? Shouldn't I keep going to prove me right and them right. If I quit, what am I saying to them...
I forced myself to get out of bed, and drug myself to the gym.
And today I ran, and I ran for you SHERI BRECHT!!!! I ran to say thank you. I ran to say, you can do this girl!! I ran, cuz I'm not a quitter, and neither are you!!!
Wanna know some of the other strange things I think about to motivate myself to run??? Ah let's save that for another day. Today we honor Sheri, and her goals!!! Once again Thank you Sheri and good luck to you!!! You know I'm with ya!!!
