I spent a whole year dreaming of running Mc Donald's 5K in 2011.
That's why in March, I hired the best personal trainer I could find.
He did a great job with me, I must say. He helped me lose over 10 lbs, and he ignited a sort of fire within me. Or I should say, he poisoned me with a fever for challenging myself and working out extremely hard. I caught the virus of exercising - the passion for training. What is more, before hiring him, I couldn't run 3 blocks altogether. By May, I was already running 3Ks. I had to stop running for several months, as my joints were hurting. But on October 2nd, I ran a 4K for the first time. And then, on October 15th, I ran my first 5K - Avon's 5K against breast cancer.
Mc Donald's 5K would take place on October 30th. I was incredibly excited! I'd have my first chip, I'd belong to a category of women in my age span, I'd classify!
My goal was to cross the finish line among the first 100 women in my category.
I was getting ready for this 5K. I was eating clean, I was training hard...
My personal trainer said he would be there for me. He would coach me during the run. Everything was perfect!
Until the nightmare began.
I sprained my ankle. Gosh, it hurt like heck! Anyway, my personal trainer was a specialist in sport injuries. So there was nothing to worry about - he promised to be there. He'd take care of me whenever I needed his help. I trusted him. I knew I'd be in good hands.
Shit happens... Unfortunately, my personal trainer cancelled the appointment.
So I showed up on my own... And I stepped on the start line.
And then, I got ready to begin running...
