One Year On !!!!!!!

Comment Published at 08:1008:1038 comments38 comments56 Visits56 VisitsReport

Today it was Daniel's mini marathon school race

Last year I blogged about letting him down as I was too scared to go, his father would be there as well as some ex friends that I couldn't face.  www.minti.com/members/nell18-3/blog/393771/My-boy-did-ok/

Today I was there at the race !!!!!!!!!!!!!

My daughter and Thomas came along too and the three of us cheered him on, my daughter and Thomas were apparently my bodyguards and kept an eye out but there was no need, I was out in the open, knowing he was probably there but we didn't see him at all. The ambulances were all there so its likely he was in one of them.

But I am so proud of myself as I didn't hide

I did what I wanted to do, took my son to the event, watched him get ready, line up and run the cross country and was on the finish line waiting for him.

Oh my word I actually did it !!!!!!!! Yes it was scary but it was non eventful too

My son came in 132nd out of 300 runners so he was extremely proud of himself too.

Wow, well done, you've come so very far! I bet Daniel was not only proud of himself, he was proud of you too? Lets hope . saw you and was too unnerved by your boldness to approach! Or even that the bodyguards were too scary LOL! Well done Daniel and well done Helen! Imagine what you'll be doing in another year...!

Now that's a shame! Perhaps next year instead you could find a fun run you could participate in with Daniel, and maybe take the rest of your posse along too? After all, if your dad can do it...! Well, Im glad you made it to the last one - he must be so proud of you!

What a great victory for you and your son. I am so glad that you are getting to go see your son compete and that should never have been taken from you! I am so happy for you and the fact that you could enjoy it with no dramas is even better! Well done, you should be so proud of yourself!

It was great to be there, when he ran past us on the final sprint, we were cheering him on and he put his head down and really went for it

I remember saying last year that you would be there this year and I am so pleased that you were able to do it.  Well done and well done Daniel.  I can't believe that was a whole year ago though!!  Time just goes by so fast!

Brilliant!!!!   Well done you and well done Daniel.  It is a great feeling when you face your fears head on.  The only way is UP from here once you start taking those tiny steps they just keep getting a little bigger every time. Looks to me like the x was the one hiding as you didn't get to see him, lol.

Take care, love Maria xxxxxxx

Re: One Year On !!!!!!!

Wow that's great! All of it! You should be proud of yourself. And of course Daniel should be proud too. I found it interesting that his place was the exact same numbers this year, just different order. 231 ->132. Maybe play the lotto?

Anyway, that is great that you've made so much progress! Way to go!

Re: One Year On !!!!!!!

Yeah, I'm a little weird that way.

The important thing is how much better you're feeling about things compared to a year ago. I'm glad for you.

Good for you!  That'll show -x that you are not afraid of him now!

Great race Daniel ran, I would have come 301 out of 300! lol.

You keep living without the fear, the more you do it, the easier it will get and the more empowered you will feel.
