My New Addiction

In the past I was an addict of circumstance. I was addicted to relationships, unhealthy food, anything that I could find an escape in. I never wanted to have to face the fact that I was unhappy with my life. I never would have thought that in just one year I could completely turn it around. 

I've cut out the unhealthy relationships, food, and habits. I've become addicted to something much better for me. Challenging myself. That's my new addiction. Trying new things, spreading my wings, testing my strength, those are all of the things that make me happy. I finally feel like my life has meaning, I feel like the sky is the limit!

So, if you have seen my posts about my races lately, you'll know that they are such a rush, I've never felt more accomplished than those three times I crossed the finish line. Just this past Saturday I ran the Hero Rush, which was a 5K Fire Fighter themed obstacle course run. It was the hardest one yet! Now that it's over all I can do is look forward to the runs I have planned for the rest of the year. I wanted to share those here, I am so excited about them, I can hardly stand it!
