that's right...pro vitae (for life). when i first started running, i thought it would be long enough to run a full marathon and then i would have that out of my system and move along to something else. nope. not even close. i ran my first marathon in 2008 in chicago, on 6 weeks of training, as i had just graduated from physical therapy from an injury that still plagues me today. but i haven't given up yet. i continue to perservere through the struggles to get my time down and my pace quicker, i do my pt exercises 5 times a week (or try hard to do so), and find a way to get my pt and running and other training in almost every day, and all this being a single mom. no one said it would be easy, and thank god for that. if it were easy, it wouldn't be nearly the challenge it has been. and i have loved every single moment of it.
that is all for now. this is my kickoff...kickoff to 2010, to training for an excellent running season, to being a better and more involved me.
