Oh boy was the adrenaline pumping that hot and steamy morning as we woke up early, prepared at home and met the rest of the team at the JCJC football field. We were, in true Abercrombie fashion, incredibly late and that made the stress level sky high. I was worried we wouldn't get there in time and that the curves ladies would be worried and nervous about their first 5k. I think when it came right down to it at the bottom of it all I was worried I wouldn't be able to do it. I don't wanna ever look weak but especially not infront of the Curves ladies.
We had a team of seven that day. We were on week 8 of a ten week "Couch to 5k" plan. We were not completely prepared but we were excited and ready to try.
We all got registered just in the nick of time.
We stretched, pumped each other up and ran our little hearts out.
And Ran
And Ran
and ran and ran and ran
And just when we thought we couldn't anymore...
we ran some more
Our little Curves family accomplished more that day than just completing a 5k. We trained through the hottest part of the summer day in and day out. We pushed ourselves far past what we thought our physical limits were. we faced our fear of failure and proved to ourselves that we could do it.
As always there was a large Callen/Abercrombie show. Its a great thing to have both my families at one event. The two biggest parts of my life cheering towards one goal.
