Ups and downs

It has been a challenging past couple of weeks. I have not been feeling very well and the last thing I want to do is go run. Yesterday I was a little light headed after my run and I'm sure it had something to do with the fact that I had unbelievable nasal congestion. It was not fun. Despite the breathing troubles and feeling icky, I have grown to love running. I've never been much of a runner. I've always had to be involved in other things like chasing after a ball or stealing bases. I find myself counting down the minutes until work is over so I can go run. It's freeing and I just feel so much better afterwards. My miles are slowly increasing and I am now at 6 miles. I never in a million years thought I would be running six miles unless a bear was chasing me or something. I am though and I enjoy it. Here is to another day of running and another day of helping to fight blood cancers.
