Back on the Run

I don't know what happened. It's like I burst through something. Suddenly, all my obstacles were out of the way, and I looked down to find myself tying up my shoes and walking out the door. I went out to the park and started a good solid run.

I think it's because of all of your support, advice, and encouragement when I hit the roughness. It was great to have some of you say that doing it is very different from saying that I "could have done it". There were those of you who said that no race is worth burnout or injury, and there were those of you who said that I didn't have to run if I didn't want to.

Thanks to all of you who wrote in to set me at ease.

I don't know that I'm completely out of the woods, so don't hesitate if you find something especially inspiring to send or write. The distance will only be getting longer from here.
