It was brief.
Very brief.
Had to squint thru binoculars...
but, I saw her.
The girl that ran 2 marathons in 2008...
yep, her.
I walked on the treadmill tonight for 20 minutes.
Ran 5 minutes.
It was clumsy, awkward and slow.
But after a year (really, almost 2 years)
without exercise, what else would I expect???
I'm trying to give myself a fighting chance for July.
My dad, brothers, cousins, uncles and husband
are all running a half marathon together.
I REALLY want to be a part of that.
Granted...I will still have to get thru a surgery,
3 days in a hospital, 2 weeks of 'serious' recovery
and then more recovery before the training can start.
But, the point is....
I SAW HER!
OR,
AT LEAST THE POSSIBILITY OF HER!
What's this running stuff? Your favorite middle brother can't run more than a mile before the ligaments around his knees reduce him to a walk ... and going even further produces pain combined with walking ... for the next week ... especially decending stairs.
ReplyDeleteMind over ligament???
ReplyDeleteKidding.
Might want to get that checked.
Great job Mandy!! Thinking of you!
