So today was another practice. I always like to see who shows up. Being an avid runner, it's nice to be able to assure the inexperienced runners that they can do it...it just takes time, practice and patience. I remember the first time that I went running. It must have only been maybe 2 miles. It was intimidating, but I was determined. Then six months later I was running my first marathon. That being said, when I started I had a pretty sedentary life style, was about 30lbs overweight and pretty miserable with myself. Running gave me life. It gave me hope and time to think and not to mention a new waist. I have been pretty addicted to it since.
We only ran 2 miles today and Caro and I ran another 1/2 mile with a girl who was struggling. She said she appreciated us going with her. She just ran her first 2 miles. She was so proud of herself (and she should be!). I can tell that we are going to become a close team. Not only do we do this for our health, but we also do this to help find a cure for blood cancers. We will do it!! I am inspired and can't wait for the next run.
Much love,
Heidi
