Today I finally did something that I've been wanting to do for 2 years. As some of you may know, for my 40th birthday (2 years ago) I decided I needed a "life affirming" event. (as if raising twins wasn't enough) So I convinced my cousin Michelle that we needed to do something big (her birthday is 2 months after mine), and said we should run the Disney Half Marathon. Now I'm not a runner, and I'm horribly out of shape. But, I trained off and on for a year, and 2 days before my 40th birthday completed the Disney Half Marathon. This is something that I am very proud of having accomplished, because, although they didn't tell me, a lot of people thought I would never go through with it. (I later found out that Michelle only agreed because she thought I would change my mind LOL)
So this is a shadow box with my souvenirs from the half marathon. My shirt, my number, my medal, and pictures of my cousin and I after we finished, as well as my group of friends that ran with us. Something I will forever be proud of having accomplished.
