STUFF ABOUT ME:
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
When I can push past that discouraging voice in my head and take those first steps, I never regret it. I've been told, "move your feet and your head will follow." So I put one in front of another, entranced by the hypnotic, repetitive sounds of rubber sole on pavement synchronized with my deep but fluid breathing. Connected to something far greater and all around me, at peace with the moment, I relinquish control leaving my mind, body and spirit in harmonious union. I run because it's the time that I make friends with myself and learn about who I really am, what are my limits, how far I can stretch myself. I run because I get to feel the world melt away and watch the city disappear into the background. I run and my mind becomes quiet. I run and no longer feel separate but am One with reality; an intimate experience with the present, with my own inner resources and vitality, with all that is--I run, and I lose myself and find myself at the same time. I used to run from trouble, from police, from pain and fear. Today, I run through the pain but not from the pain--I run for today and not from today--I run not for the ending or finish line but for the experience itself. My muscles pump and tire and my blood flows, my joints ache and my body's drained--my mind finds quiet refuge...Today, I keep running.
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
It's difficult for me to express how much I have gotten out of being part of this; of challenging myself week to week, of pursuing positive goals, and of being part of the BTS Team. I want to thank everyone for your continuous, unwavering support and all the time and energy you've put into making this experience possible, to extend my gratitude to all of you for being a consistent and instrumental part of my sobriety, for affording me this opportunity to pursue a long-term (once seemingly unattainable) aspiration, and for your generosity in supporting me, this team, and the souls of all who continue to struggle.
