Hottie and I ran poles for the very first time ever this weekend, and somehow managed to come home with a 4th place finish! 🎉
Were there a few bobbles and mistakes? Absolutely. But considering I haven’t competed in poles in 3–4 years and Hottie hasn’t seen a pole pattern in at least 8 years, I’d say we did pretty darn good!
One thing this comeback journey has taught me is that you don’t have to be perfect to be proud of your progress. You just have to keep showing up, keep trying, and keep believing that better days are ahead.
This old girl gave me everything she had, and I’m so thankful for a safe, willing partner that’s helping me chase my goals again. We’ve still got plenty to improve on, but this run gave me a lot to smile about. ❤️🐴
Onward and upward!
