It was really cool to get out this morning. There is just something about the rain that I love, maybe it's the cleansing of the Earth. I didn't want to go but knowing that I wasn't going to be alone really helped. I'd rather have company and run too fast (Chris a.k.a. The RoadRunner) than be alone.
Surgery is this Thursday so I will be out for Saturday morning runs for a while. And so begins the 4-6 week recovery...well, after a night in the Hospital with all the Ice Cream I can eat. That reminds me of Forrest Gump.
I'll be back! See you all in a few weeks. I'll update on the recovery.

My Story
My journey has taken me from a life of anger and self pity to a life full of hope and renewel. I have experienced the loss of my older Brother an my Mom all in about the course of a year, starting in 2007 with my brother. In the middle of this at the age of 25 I had back surgery, something that would result in me slipping into deeper depression and anger. In the fall of 2008 I was finally strong enough to let go. I had to let go of myself and my control so Jesus Christ could finally have what He deserves, my cooperation. Since I learned how to listen to Jesus my life has been something worth living for. I learned how to be a leader in my family, a loving husband, and a father. God put some people in my life that made this journey a little easier for me. Chris, Ken, Howard, Tom, and Joe asked me to run with them on saturday mornings. Little did I know this would turn into a 200 mile relay race, multiple 5k races (I broke my 20 min. goal on my Mom's one year of passing with a 19:39 time), and my first full marathon in September of 2009. That's where the idea for running from Ann Arbor was born.
Hey Clint,
ReplyDeleteI just looked at my calendar and I will have to run a leg on Sunday the 20th. I forgot we will be coming back from a camping trip on Saturday. I hope that works out OK.
Thanks!
