This is my favorite picture! It means so much to me for so many reasons. First, I'm with my best friends. @siapumbo & @tracyrivera42 have been such amazing friends to me. They don't treat me like I'm sick but they also understand I am. Through the whole race they made sure I was ok and that I wasn't pushing myself too hard. It meant so much to me. Second, I finished the #toughmudder. Not only did I finish but I did 10 of the 13 obstacles! Going into this I told myself "just make it through two and cross the finish line, next year you can do 4" clearly I crushed that goal. Third, I woke up that morning throwing up and my headache was an awesome 9 on a ten scale. I truly considering not going bc even though I can push through pain that level of pain is hard to push through on a normal day. Fourth, I clearly saw that God was with that day. Yes, he is with me everyday but that day he was extra there. Fifth, I realized I have the most amazing boyfriend. Sure I already knew this but how many boyfriends do you know who will drive you two hours then wait 3 hours while watching two kids then drive you home and not complain at all? At all. He told me how proud he was and he was right there at the finish line cheering me on. He told me later that he watched every medical cart that drove by bc he was worried I might be on it as he knew how sick I was that day. I may not look sick and I try not to act sick but I am, more then I actually like to admit to myself. I still haven't recovered from Saturday but it was so worth it. I have new found belief in myself. I've never been prouder then I am now. Thank you @tough_mudder. Thank you for helping me to feel like a normal person even if it was only for 3 hours ❤️ See you next year xo #chronicillness #invisibleillness #motivation #bethebestyou #beliveinyou #roguesquad
