NYC Half Marathon

On Saturday, I found out I got into the lottery of the NYC Half Marathon. I was so happy, I almost cried. Like I wrote in my sappy facebook post, I attempted the lottery in 2010 when I was depressed and thought that if I got in that year, it would change my situation and prove my worth. When I did not get in, I lost motivation to be the best that I could be.

I wasn't in a good place with God (or I was slowly turning away) that year. I blamed Him for my break up with Oliver. Anyway, almost 3 years later, I'm in a better place in my life and I let go a lot of the issues I had before. I basically accepted the end of my break up once and for all. I realized that it wasn't God, but just life itself. Oliver and I were always very different and as I saw it, we weren't in the same place anymore. When I let go of that, and just let God run my life, it started drastically improving. And now I got into the the NYC Half Marathon (a chance to prove to myself that I can really run 13.1 miles!) and I know it is God's timing alone that got me there. 

I hope that I will finally achieve some of my ultimate goals: get to a size 2, and run a marathon (eventually). I feel like 2013 will be tough but well worth it! 

Thank you God!! NYC Half - bring it on!
