Today I Ran My 200th Mile!
Seventeen Months Ago,
I Got Up,
and Went for a Run
for the First Time in My Life.
It was the First 1.66 Miles,
I had Ever Run.
I Had NEVER Wanted to Run.
Now,
by My Own Two Feet,
Thunder Thighs,
Oatmeal Squares,
and Sheer Will Power,
I have Run Over 200 Miles.
Never Thought I Could.
Ever.

PS Doing My First 10K in October. I'm Pretty Excited.

And I'm excited for you. (someone has to run in this world, it ain't me)
How exciting for you! I'm a runner, who took 15 years off... and after that long I may as well have been starting over. What I've learned is that the first step is always the hardest... and I find I'm never sorry I ran today.. Keep up the good work!
Just found your blog through Pinterest... thank you for sharing.
So inspiring to see those family photos.....
How I wish I have a family and have those photos too....
