30 Days of Thanks - Day 4

"I'm thankful for 'the calm' after the storm."

30 Days of Thanks - Day 3

"I'm thankful for past hurts, failures, and loss. For without them, I wouldn't experience (and be able to relish in) growth, happiness, and success."

Don't forget...

30 Days of Thanks - Day 2

"I'm thankful for the opportunity to live in one of the greatest cities in the world."

 

A 5K with my favorite girl

M and I at her baptism in '04

In 30 days, I'll be traveling to Washington, DC to run with M in the Girls on the Run 5K. I can not begin to tell you how much this race means to me.

I first met M when she was six months old. Twice a week I'd travel to Stockbridge, GA to babysit M. while her mom taught class at a nearby college. I initially planned to work temporarily, but after spending one evening with that special baby girl I knew I'd do whatever I need to do to help out.

30 Days of Thanks - Day 1



  "As this week comes to an end, I'm thankful for resiliency."

 

 

Cancelled? Say it ain't so!

It's official - The NYRR Dash to the Finish has been cancelled.

 

I need a moment.

I was looking forward to this race because it was my last one to qualify for guaranteed entry through the 9+1 program. Secondly, it's the day before the marathon, and I'd have the opportunity to run a part of the route. Call me crazy, but I LOVE that type of stuff.
