Training for my first 5k

Running for the first time

Building stamina

Fighting the fear

 

Growing through the process

Becoming more confident

Gaining strength

Facing the challenges

 

Like many things in life

I was afraid

Of being embarrassed

Of failing

 

It is a personal thing

Working to achieve a goal

As part of my training

I adopted a mantra

 

Read in a book about running

I wrote the initials daily

On the inside of my wrist

It sticks with me still
