And we're back

I have been too superstitious to post this, but now I think it's time. I ran a mile on Wednesday, and I ran TWO miles on Saturday, and my knees don't hurt!! Could I be out of the woods with this injury?? AND I finally have my podiatrist appointment this week, which I've been waiting to finally have for two months. Hooray!

In more important news, many of my mentees have reached and surpassed their fundraising goals for the NJ Marathon, and it's 5 weeks away! Way to go, ladies :)

Reinvigorated

Surprisingly (yeah right), I was talking about the marathon at lunch today to a new staff member. She is so nice and was interested, so of course I told the whole story. I'm the worst.

However, it really reinvigorated me and reminded me what an AMAZING thing that entire journey was. I don't feel like it ended, because I'm still mentoring, and I'm talking about Team in Training all of the time with my mentees. But just now I was reminded how incredible that whole experience was. I went back and reread the gorgeous notes that my friends and family left on my webpage when they made donations, and I was reminded of how much we all accomplished, and it brought me to tears.

I feel another event coming on....tri this time? If I wasn't so deathly afraid of dying on a bike, I'd sign up in a second. Hmmmm....

Thanks to all of you who read this and who made this experience something I will treasure forever.
