#IFinishedTheRace

Running my first 5k without stopping to walk.

Internal mantra of strength and endurance.

I hate running but did it still.

Keeping a good pace, I pushed till the end and then sprinted to finish,

a strength unknown to me that I possessed.

Lord, may this race symbolise the weeks to come with endurance painting in MAINE.

Tough replaces soft.

Endurance replaces weakness.

Pain is weakness leaving the body.
