Dear friends... today is RUN day... (CIBC Run for the Cure.)

I am excited, but nervous. I can't believe I am going to do this. I am so emotional... I want to cry and I am not sure why.

Maybe it is because I plan to break through a barrier that I never dreamed possible.

Only the amazing people on this site could possibly understand what I mean by that...

To work so damn hard to lose this weight...to actually be able to run in a 5K race? Ok Ok..it's not a race...I know that...it's just the idea of doing this is mind-blowing...

Myself from 1 year ago would never have believed it...

That said, I haven't actually run yet.... LOL.... so please say a little prayer (if you pray) or send some positive energy my way...OK? I think I am going to need it...

Yep...pretty sure I am going to cry today...at some point... hopefully it will be tears of joy at the end,...and not years of pain...LOL Ok...that's not funny...

Instead of "I think I can.." I need to change my mantra to...

"I can do this... I can do this..."

RUN. I can't say a prayer, but my gawd, I'm cheering for you Toni. You. Are. Awesome.
GO! You CAN do hard things. Bonnie taught me that and I'm passing it down to you. GO.
