INSPIRATION! It can come from many places and oddly enough for me it came in the form of my long suffering SAINTS! Watching the Saints win the SuperBowl was....I don't even think I know the word for it....it just WAS! As Tracy Porter ran into the endzone after picking off P.Manning I knew that today (the official Who DAT holiday)I would push myself to finish my mile. I knew that because as the Saints won the Superbowl I poured out my full glass of wine and started to think about what kind of dedication and self belief it must have taken for these "free agents" guys that nobody wanted, to make it to this level. I'm quite positive it wasn't always confetti and trophies. and neither was my mile today. There was no crown or a trophy but I laughed the last 1/10 of a mile knowing that I had done something that I never thought I had the will power to do (yes I'm talking about the pouring out the full glass of wine.......lol and the run). as I walked through mile 2, I saw the replay of Drew Brees holding his young son and kissing his cheek. Although his son is WAY to YOUNG to "get it" it inpired me to start running again. I closed my eyes and thought of seeing Davis at the end of my finish line. Ok it's not the superbowl, but to accomplish a goal and share it with your child is the ultimate thrill. Almost as good as watching your child accomplish a goal. So I ran till there was only 1/2 mile to go, and I walked to my finish line. I gave myself a victory lap..... I'm not kidding and it felt great. I sang "when the saints go marching in" (in my head of course) and smiled all the way to the locker room.....TODAY IS A GREAT DAY!!!!
GEAUX SAINTS>>>>WHO DAT
