I've been so inspired by the quote I've seen on people's pages from Martin Luther King (I believe). The quote goes something like - if you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl - whatever you do keep moving. That's totally the way I feel. I'm so desperate to complete a 5k. I don't want to finish first, I just want to finish. But right now I can't walk a 100 feet without my shins hurting so bad. I don't want to go fishing for excuses, but it's a real live pain. Today I'm going shopping for new shoes. I don't have the extra money to buy them, but I'm willing to work some overtime to get them. Pain and all... I'm just thrilled to be moving.
