Today's theme is the proud moments. I have one picture that felt like a big accomplishment at the time and since moving to a foreign country and living and working on your own for over a year kind of represents the accomplishment theme... well it all ties together.

This one is something that really meant alot to me. I never played sports in school or anything so I never knew the feeling of winning or pushing myself physically. By training for and doing the 10k (and finishing in a shorter time than I ever dreamed, 1 hour 7 minutes) I will count that as one of the proudest moments in my entire life. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done and was actually more mental than physical. It really showed me that I can make excuses for everything like when I used to whine that I couldn't run because of my athsma or I could get up off my butt and work hard and overcome the excuses.
