this is it. my final thoughts before i run my first marathon the day after tomorrow. it’s been a roller coaster ride the past few months ~ deciding whether or not to make the commitment, training, reaching new milestones, dealing with injury, struggling with schedule restraints, bonding with my running group and so much more. i [...]
the written word

sometimes i write what i can not say. the power of the written word has always been my savior … or potentially my crutch. maybe you don’t know it’s meant to be for you and i wonder if can you read between the lines and see inside my soul.
when i read i reach beneath the [...]
