I Finished!

I don't know why it took me so long to post this, but I finished.  With moderate success.  It took me 2 hours and 5 minutes.  5 minutes short of my goal, but I did finish.  That was my first and foremost goal. And... drum roll please... I wasn't the last one to cross the finish line.  One small thing I haven't yet mentioned I rolled my ankle on the first lap of the run.  I thought I would have to quit right there.  However after sitting on the ground for at least 5 minutes with people passing me by and offering help I tried to get up.  At first I simply limped to try and get to help.  However, by the time I reached help I was almost able to walk.  So I decided that I would try and finish.  After all I had already finished the majority of the race at that point. So I decided to do some jogging on and off.  I was super proud of myself.
My best event was swimming.  I ended up doing the swim in 8 minutes and 30 seconds.  The bicycle which I knew would be the hardest for me--- was.  With people passing me up it was difficult to not play mind games with myself.  However, I finished.  Now I am addicted and planning my next one next year.
Now onto fill my mind with something other then school.  Good thing holidays are coming up to keep me busy. I have to figure out a halloween costume for myself.  I also need to go shopping.
One thing I can also celebrate is it a 3 day weekend.  I am going to relax and get some fall cleaning done and rearrange my closet.  My smart daughter is saying more and more complete sentences.  Last night she was on a roll telling my husband.  I tired of water and other cute things.  It makes my heart proud I know that it may be normal.  But it is so cute that it warms my heart as a mother.
Tonight my husband is watching scary movies and I don't like to be around him when he does.  Even the music freaks me out.  I start playing stuff in my brain and have to get out of the room.  It isn't healthy for me.  I guess that I will fill my mind with thoughts about lesson plans, read a few chapters of a book and go to bed.  Goodnight!
