At the end of the rainbow....a new chapter begins

It's getting close to race day.
My first race (running or Tri) in almost 9 years is only days away. A year ago.. hell, even 6 months ago I would never have foreseen myself participating in races again.

For all these many years since being hit on my bicycle I held true to the belief that I couldn't do anything physically demanding because "I was disabled". I was terrified of running because of the injuries to my foot and ankle. I was terrified, absolutely terrified at the thought of even riding a bicycle outside on the road again. I was almost killed by a semi on my bicycle, why tempt fate by riding outside again?

It was only after months of working though the painful emotional trauma still haunting me from the accident and finally gaining acceptance of what happened whereby I achieved a state of grace and emotional and spiritual healing. My mind was set free and I was no longer stuck on that day, under the truck. My mind was set free and that has made all the difference, opening me up to a life I never thought possible.

I am no longer dreaming about the life I want. I am living it!
