Last night I had a sleepless night. I was fretting over the 5K walk for this morning. My head was storming. WTF am I doing? Am I capable of walking the 3.5 miles? I usually hit the wall at 2.5 that I do every day. My friend and I got there late, so we aren't in the group photo, but I didn't care we met up with our friends and we walked 3.75 miles!!!! I walked with a new friend and she was as slow as I am so we were a good match! We didn't stop for any breathers, we walked for 91 minutes! And just like that all the fears gone, and I FINISHED my FIRST 5K walk! It made me closer to my friends who were walking with me, it made me happy that I could do HARD things! Accomplishment! And I have the T-shirt to prove it! I still cannot help but find beauty on any walk, I saw some birds, the cemetery to remind us to live our lives to the fullest every single day because life is short, and beautiful flowers! I love that so many of my friends were there and showed up for themselves too!

What a huge accomplishment! I wonder if walking with friends makes the walking a little easier. Gets us out of our heads.

Effy! H U G E !!! I didn't even have an asthma attack! I am finally healing from our old house that had black mold. It totally helped to be surrounded by friends, and as they passed me saying encouraging things or laughing! I might be hurting today but SO worth it!
Lisa!!! Thank you SO much! It was a big thing!
