remind me that i'm still alive.
here in portland, my heart keeps fluttering around like a butterfly trapped inside a small space.
where the space either needs to get bigger or the butterfly needs to be set free.
i think.
myheart is growing.
i hope.
myheart is growing.
this morning. my heart fluttered a couple times. once because i found out the results of the 5K that i ran in on thanksgiving. (go to female, age 20-29, & look for #6!)
i have to say, i'm pretty proud of the results for it being my first race and that i only started running in september. my roommates know that i had a bout ("only a bout?" um.. okay fine, more than that) of frustration that i didn't run faster and get a better time.
but i have to say that seeing the results puts that voice to rest and calls on my desire to do even better next time. i know i can do it. i believe it.
