I am so happy today to say that yesterday I ran 8 miles and today I ran 5. AND I ran 5 miles in 36:04 up and down Diamond Head Road. I cannot wait for my man to get back so we can start running our routes again. He is my motivation and helps to break me out of my comfort zone emotionally, athletically, spiritually. It's amazing when someone who knows me so well understands the greatness in challenging me. Haha, he always is encouraging me to be more proud of my hard work with my body and my athleticism. When we are walking down the beach, he takes my hand and whispers how great I look. In those moments, I want to see what he sees and look away from the distorted image I see. Confidence comes with time but, I AM determined! I even ran in a sports bra today and walked the beach in a bikini with a good friend. It was liberating!!
I see what an amazing place I am blessed to live in and want to take advantage of everything that comes with it! Outside I feel alive, able to clear my head. Often, I need to pinch myself and make sure I don't take it for grated. The picture, for instance, was taken after my man got me a new kayak and we made our way out to a small little island off the coast in Kailua. That day was incredible as we spearfished, swam, ran around, and made new memories. He is the biggest joy in my life. We are blessed to live in paradise.
