Athletics is No Longer Beyond My Reach
 The miracle of BTBS is crossing the starting line at age 47 for a half marathon! Wow! You see it IS a miracle since I was always "last picked" in gym class, believing somehow that athletic accomplishments were beyond me. Listening to others rather than the voice that screamed inside, I can do this. When I decided to start marathon running I could barely put one foot in front of the other, gasping for air, awkward and weak. Maybe the old voices were right, maybe this was beyond me. But I persevered, lacing my sneakers and getting out there, and eventually 1 mile became two became 5 became 13.1! Tears poured down my face just seeing the finish line in the distance, I was going to make it, and finish the half marathon...I am an athlete the new voice screams! And I have the medal to prove it.
