Hi Friends and Family!
Well, time is really winding down now. I can't believe that it is only one week until the marathon! Time has gone by quickly! I've got to admit, my body is going to be really glad when all of this training is over. What's harder than running 26.2 miles is going through the training that it takes to get there. The marathon itself only entails some pretty painful leg cramps and a little bit of throwing up afterwards, potentially. But training for it has its big struggles, in all aspects of life. Training for a marathon teaches you a lot about life. There are times when you're running along and everything is going fine. At other times, it's a really huge struggle. Some days you can rip like through like it's nothing. Other days, every step about kills you and it's all you can do not to give up. But no matter what, you need to keep the end goal in sight. I have that end goal in sight, and it is just within reach.
I am so lucky to have such a wonderful little niece, Callie. She is a light and joy to my life. I wish I could do more for her. I'm sure that there will be other things to come in the future, other opportunities to help her. For right now, though, I'm giving her as much support as I can. I'm including links on this post to the donation website, and to the website for the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation, an organization dedicated to SMA research. If you have taken the time to read my blog post, all I ask is that you also take the time to visit these websites, learn more about what SMA is, and how you can help children like Callie. Please feel free to make a donation if you wish. My appreciation goes out to you in your effort to support this cause.
