Shootin' at the walls of heartache, bang, bang, I am the warrior!

Just thought I'd give those of you who don't know a head's up on the photo that is currently the backdrop of my Blog.  In June of 2011, I participated in the Warrior Dash - 3.2 miles of obstacles & mud!  I was at my heavy weight (roughly 222 in this photo), but I was determined I would complete this race.  So, at 2:30pm on a sweltering Sunday afternoon I lined up to start.  Sure, I was scared, but I knew deep down that I would be able to make it through the race.  I didn't skip a single obstacle, I didn't fall down, and I never quit.  I pushed through to the very end - jumped over the fire, army-crawled through the mudpit, and crossed the finish line.  True, I wasn't the fastest, but I finished.  In life we just need to finish.
