You are warned - lengthy post ahead. . The latest @hogwartsrunningclub event - coming up June 18! The event is the Sirius Half Marathon. I managed to get it done in a matter of four days, and even a mile over. Let's face it, I don't think there is any way Christopher would have hung with me for like 3 hours doing 13.1 miles in a jogging stroller. I don't care that it took me a few days, all I care is I'm doing it, and doing #somuchgood in the process. I love our latest charity, @missionk9 - so proud running for this event to help our amazing four legged friends who have served us. We all know I'm a sucker for dogs. . Also going on in #HRC - our #hufflescuffle - and my team - #transfiguredteacups - won our first round against 3 other teams! Yeah! #huffleTUFF . I am so grateful for being part of the HRC community the last year and a half. I am surrounded by the most awesome running community around the world. (Literally we have people across the globe!) No matter what stage I've been in: from newbie testing the bounds after foot surgery (3 years post op now!), to pregnant, to sleep deprived mom with a newborn, to jogging stroller mom, my entire #HRC group, my team of badgers #hrchustlepuff17, and snek-bestie-Slytherin @meliimamiii - are always there with raised wands cheering every step taken. . I have hardly ever posted publicly about any running. Despite having started in January 2015 (about 6-7 months post op foot surgery), I only ever posted sporadically. I think deep down I never really felt like I had any sort of bragging rights or any accomplishments to say about it. Sort of like an imposter in running shoes for 2+ years. Maybe because it was new and never felt like that was something that could also help define me. Then a few weeks ago I stepped back and looked at all these finisher medals I've been accumulating between @rundisney virtual runs, HRC, and a few local runs... and it occurred to me... Hey, I'm really proud of myself. I want to do more and go further! I'm not keeping it on the down low anymore. I've learned through some amazing groups that this is something to be proud of! 💪🏻🏃🏼#hogwartsrunningclub #charitymiles
