My race went good. I actually ran the entire race! But about halfway I was getting really tired and I felt I might not make it. I know a 5k isn't that impressive, but I haven't ever run one (except one in college that I had to walk during). I said a prayer in my heart and suddenly I felt my burden lift. I felt Declan close by and I almost started crying during my race.
In my beloved box I received a necklace with tiny baby feet. I ran with that necklace. It was like a piece of Declan was with me.
I have struggled with my health since I had Bryce five and half years ago. Since I get diabetes in my pregnancy it causes me a lot of grief. I am determined to get healthy so in my next pregnancy I hope I can be in better shape. I am in much better shape now then I ever have before. Even though I was skinny and tiny when I was a teenager and a young adult I was certainly not healthy.
It feels good to be on the road to accomplishing my goal of running my half marathon. Only four months ago I was broken and hurt from my c-section and now I am running a 5k. I know I've been very blessed to be in good health. I am so grateful for Declan for inspiring me to better myself.
I love you sweet angel!
