Oh. My. Word.
Or to quote Liz Lemon, “What the What?”
I never, ever dreamed I would do it.
Sure, I thought it would be a great idea, and I LOVE creating events and such, but I just didn’t think it would be a part of my reality.
But it is.
I have thought for years that we needed a running club in Greenville.
And I have always thought it would be great to host a big running event in Greenville.
And BOTH of these things are happening as we speak.
An impromptu New Year’s Day group run had a friend voice what I had been thinking, “we should start a running club in Greenville.” And that was enough for me to decide that 2016 was going to be the year.
Five awesomely fun 10K runs at wineries around the Indianapolis area and befriending the race director, along with a new winery opening up in town had me thinking it would be so cool to do a wine run here in town. A few conversations later and the Vine to Wine 1/2 Marathon and 5K is becoming a reality.
Me. The girl who didn’t want to call herself a runner for a long time. Pulling people together to, of all things, run.
I am thrilled. I am ecstatic. I am so excited for the future.
It is a beautiful thing to see your dreams becoming reality.
