Not where I planned to be today

8 months ago I planned to be in Tahoe today, running with my friends. Never did I imagine I’d be going 8 months with no running, and it still be undetermined when or if I will be able to return to the sport that carried me through many difficult things. So many days I’ve ached for the escape running brings me. Seeing all of the pictures from today’s race has been tough, but I’m trusting the doctors are doing everything they can to get me back out there safely, and that God’s got this totally under control, and has a reason for this extended break from running. One amazing thing did happen yesterday that might not have happened if I’d been in Tahoe this weekend, and it’s something that could have a huge positive impact on our family this year. So, holding onto hope and sticking with the excruciatingly slow process.
