Race for grief...

I have a love/hate relationship with running.  After Declan died I ran to keep sane.  I honestly don't think I would have survived if I hadn't run those first few months after he was born.

It was hard.

Many days I felt my body would break.

But it felt like I was accomplishing something hard.

I have given up so many times.

This year I want to run a race that is dear to my heart.  I love all the causes that I have run for...but this one celebrates the reason I run.

I run for Declan.

I don't know why, but I feel closer to him when I run.

I feel close to Heaven as I run.

It is something my body doesn't want to do, but I am so proud when I accomplish it.

This run is a 10k.  I haven't done one in about two years (this summer).

Cross your fingers I can hold out during training.
