Last Saturday, September 14th, I participated in my first ever glow run. It was a 5k, at night, around downtown Springfield. I was a little intimidated by this race because I was not prepared. I had not been training, but I knew I wanted to participate. I went with a group of friends, but ended up walking/jogging/running by myself.
At first, I'll admit, I was bummed to do it alone. But with every passing mile, I was more aware of why I was doing the run. For me. Not for a friend, not for someone else. But for me. And only me. I was okay being by self.
And at the finish line, I received my first finisher's medal. It felt great.
