It's Time...

The time has come to pull out the sneaks, shake off the dust and lace 'em up again. First, we start with walking until I can walk 20 brisk minutes without any issues:o) I plan to use the C25K program after that to ease back into running and my sneaks - baby steps! No injuries now...

The goal is to be back to a full fledged jog by July 23, 2112!! I know most of you will know that day. This will mark the two year anniversary of my sweet Matthew being taken home to be with Jesus - and the day I stopped running. Some lunatic killing my friend shook my world so much - like someone cutting off my oxygen source - I quit running AND started drinking Soda again...total uncharacteristic behaviors of me. Healing has taken on an odd shape in my life in the last two years to be where I am today with it. I still miss him, more than words will ever express but I HAVE to do this - I have to keep working towards that 5K that I was going to run. I know he would WANT me to continue - to never give up! So, the journey begins...one step in front of the other.

The process of healing has not been easy. At times I still question why he was taken from us?! But in those dark days and nights, I have to TRUST that God is in control and has a far greater purpose than I could ever imagine for our loss of him. I'll always love him...and miss him more! I can't wait for that GREAT reunion day:)

Until then... July 23, 2012 here I come - RUNNING!!

My motivation to press on until it's time to lace 'em up for my first run!
