Spartan Race Sprint 2017

So, I don’t usually post photos other than my own…. but my boyfriend and I completed the Ottawa Sprint Spartan Race on August 5, and I’m super proud of us for finishing it. We didn’t even train for it! So I’m going to post some of the photos my father took. Enjoy! Here we are…

Paradox

I can’t take it without feeling guilt. To grasp your hand and let you pull me to my feet is an admission of weakness. I should be able to stand alone. Yet I’m still confused when I see others drowning, embracing the ocean’s waves instead of their loved ones’ arms.
