I'm not gonna lie...it has been an interesting season especially being away for the past three years. I've learned that running isn't my friend like it used to be and that has been hard to accept.
Some say that I need to learn to deal with the pain or that the pain will subside...but the pain takes me away from my family -- sometimes for days. It isn't pain that an advil can help...its pain that makes me feel like I want to disconnect my neck and head from my body.
SO...I'm learning to walk. Yes, we all did that as a toddler : ) but walking as an adult takes patience and a lot of time (way more than running).
My race has changed from Savannah to Dallas. My daughter is being confirmed this fall at our church and confirmation weekend happened to fall the exact same weekend as Savannah half marathon. Will and I couldn't make it home Saturday night in time for Sunday morning, so we opted to move my race date and I'm totally at peace with it because my dear friend who happens to be like my daughter's second mom has agreed to walk Dallas half marathon with me (her daughter is also going through confirmation too). I was beyond grateful when she said YES!
So my GOAL is the same - I'm walking a HALF MARATHON for Team in Training in honor of Allie and all my other honored heroes. I still need to meet my fundraising goal of $1200 and the MISSION will always be to FIND A CURE for leukemia, lymphoma hodkgin's and myeloma!
