Impossible is Nothing

Tell me i can't do something and I will try that much harder. The proof of this is the success in running I have achieved. About four years ago I was told that I would never competitively again, that was when I was a sophomore in high school. I'll be honest it got me down for about a year. I believed what everyone said, the doctors, my friends, my family, people i barely knew, I let them take my dreams and passion away from me. 


The past year or so I have slowly been getting back into running. I went off to college and when things got hard well there I was running around campus. I couldn't run too much because of my knees, the one thing that I always let get in my way. I am upset that for so long I let my knees get in my way, the doctors said that i shouldn't run for that very reason. Finally I gave up with the feeling of pain, I have fought my way through it. Now look at me.


I moved back home from college in the middle of the semester this year for a personal reason. When I got over the hill I was climbing I went to the one thing that has always gotten me through all my hard times, running. I started running in local 5K races. And to the disbelief of many people I wasn't just running the races I was placing in some of them. Now am I some great awesome runner? No. But have I gotten through my hard times and not only that but I helping other with theirs. I am part of Team in Training. Helping patients and families that are going through the battle of cancer. I raise money to help them, I am running for a cure and for a reason besides myself! 


Look at me now, stronger than ever so much in front of me. I am going to show everyone that has ever doubted me that I can do anything that impossible is nothing! 

A year in review...

This time last year I had the possession of a promise ring for a guy. A ring that should show that you love the other person but at the time can’t be married; at least that’s how I see it. But I had that ring because he didn’t fully trust me and I didn’t fully trust him. We got each other rings hoping that it would save our relationship. Wow how I have grown and how things have changed. Now it is obvious that the relationship didn’t last long after Christmas, when the exchange of the rings happened.

I finished my first year of college. I got into another relationship. I learned how to wakeboard. I made new friends. I lost old friends. I gained back old friends. I went back to college. I lost the guy. I went through the hardest time. I moved back home. I joined team in training. I signed up for a new semester of college back home. I’m getting my life back together.

It is amazing what the year can bring. It is full of ups and downs. Things get hard but you come out stronger. I am excited to see what this year will bring me. I have seen so many changes in my life some that I never saw coming, but I see it as only a good thing. Thank goodness for a great family and wonderful friends.
