Pay it forward!

Today was my first official 5k this year. I practiced a few times, but this was the "actual" event. my goal was to be under 39 minutes, and not to stop. I had my songza app going, and my map my run app going. my glow thingies on, I was pumped and ready to go.Talk about a turn out. There was over 1k people there, and the race was sold out!! I saw "little people" there, there was even one chick on crutches. I saw senior citizens, and moms pushing strollers, and moms with there little kids with them who insisted on running themselves. It was AWESOME! People had on tutus, flashing mow hawks, you name it, it was there. This run benefited the Easter Seals. But at any rate, I busted my ass. I ran under 11 minutes, and finished the race in 35 minutes. I remember towards the end, there was a young girl, I'm guessing her late teens or early 20's, she stopped and was walking. I had no idea who she was, but I remember saying to her,"come on girl stay with me" She looked at me and started to run, I told her that we had one more mile, and that we were almost there. She said ok. I said do you see the finish line from here? She said no, I told her well you will, just stay with me. Half a mile there, I told her I was about to start sprinting and she needed to stay by my side. And guess what she did!!! We finished together, and I gave her a high 5, and I walked off. I will probably never see her again, probably wouldn't know her if I saw her again. But I helped her just as much as she helped me. My goal in life, is to pay it forward. I get off on helping people. I don't want anything in return. My return is something that money can't buy. It's not even bragging rights. Its just who I am as a person. I have so much to give. I have a talent with people. I can take a bad situation and make people smile. My purpose here on earth is to help people do things that they never thought that they could ever do. The reason I created Diary of a Single mom, and now Fit mom (which was created by FPL,but given to me)is to help others. if I can help one person, I have done my job! i feel accomplished. I have paid it forward. I'm no saint, hell I am far from it! Actually I don't want to be a saint, way to much responsibility. I'm just a single mom of 3 kids, trying to help others, who could use a push in their lives.
