i did this.

*i* did this!

before august 2012, i couldn't run for a minute straight without feeling winded. and i just ran a 5K. 

before august 2012, i had been avoiding my 2012 goal to become a runner, certain it was an impossible thing to aspire to. and i just ran a 5K. 

before october 21st, 2012, i was confident that i would never be a "real" runner. and i just ran a 5K. 

i am a runner. 

i had moments of doubt, and concerns about whether i'd be able to run the whole thing. i knew i'd have to walk a portion of it at least, and i wondered if walking part of it was cheating. but in the end, i realized that none of that really matters. this was one of the most inspiring, worthwhile things i've ever pushed myself into doing. 

the end.
