I'M BACK!

I'm going to do my best to update more often.

Anyway, I'M BACK! Yes, back in my running shoes, back on the road, back to me. I sort of said "screw you" to the last person that said I needed more therapy. Not usually a good idea, but I don't think my injury was near what he tried to make me believe. If it was, I wouldn't be running now.

Today made the 2nd run of the season for me. I'm starting from scratch...as in I can't even run a mile right now. As hard as it is to swallow, I'm just happy to be back running at all. I did about a 1/2 mile on Monday night, and 3/4 mile this morning. I'm going to be running a "comeback" race in a month for my birthday (July 4th is my birthday, but I believe the race is on the 5th). It's a 5K and I probably won't be anywhere near 3.1 miles, but I'm going to run it anyway. I had made a goal to do it in 25 minutes or under since it's my 25th birthday, but unless God gives me miracle legs and stamina (which you never know, he might) that's just not going to happen. It's not about time for me anymore...it's about running. I'll set a higher goal for the 4 mile race in September if my training progresses ok, but for now, it's just about being able to run.

A lot of bad things have happened the past few weeks. A lot of death. A lot of stress. A lot of things I don't want to relive. But I have my legs back under me, and with God's grace I will not just stand around and let life happen to me, but I will run and make life happen for me.
