Today my family came over for a visit. I look forward to these visits from the three little rascals and my sister... It seems like forever, when our next visit together happens, and each visit, you can see how much the kiddies have grown. They came down to take my Ozzy boy back home with them to dog sit while I am away.
These next couple of days I'll be fitting in a couple of light runs, nothing too extreme.So far, I have eased up on my runs in hope of healing my knee for the race. So far so good...
When my sister came down today, she brougth with her, a shadow box frame, that she had used to store my medal that I gave to her for my first 30K Around the Bay and she saved clippings, my bib number and shoe tag. Today she put my other medal in it and mounted it on my wall and wanted me to fill it with all my running memories... (okay let me just empty my tear filled eyes)
I am determined to do well this year and keep others motivated with me... My sister is going to start training for a 5K race which is a very big challenge for anyone, who has never ran before. Today we sat down together and I gave her my heart monitor to use and worked out a plan starting with plotting out her hour route that she has already outlined. I am excited for her and it sounds like her husband will be up for a 5K with her as well. I am looking forward to this and will keep moivating them to achieve their goal.
Well as you all know the Disney Princess Half marathon is in a week. I have some serious packing to do. Since my family won't be there they presented me with some things to run with, I got this beautiful ring with 5 stones symbolizing each one in the family (so sweet) and some shiny hair and pony tail clips. (the perfect amount of glitter and glam)
I am as ready as I will ever be...
Also, I want everyone to remember that every step taken in my run is for someone very special in my life. Not too long ago a very good friend of my sister's lost her husband to heart failure. Veronika Lessard, is a very strong and wonderful woman, and she has inspired me through her strength.
Richard never really left, his memories remain in our hearts.
