I love this time of the year, where each day it seems to stay a little lighter then the day before. Today all my kids were picked up by 5:30 and as I locked up the front door for the night I realized it was still light! I ran upstairs and change and ran down praying it was still light. IT WAS! I headed out for a much needed run. Today was ONE of those days....I decided that I was not going to wear the garmin watch even though I love to track my miles, I wanted this run to just be me. No heart rate monitor telling me to slow down and no watch telling me that I didn't go as far as I wanted. I know from running where my mile marks are. So with that in mind I hit the road. Just about to clear my first mile it started getting dark. The street lights started to turn on. I ended my 2.5 miles in the dark but I'm so excited that the time will change and it the days will start becoming lighter longer and longer!!
On Feb. 11 I will run a virtual race for Sherry Arnold. She is with me even tonight on my run. I think about her so much. What happened to her is my nightmare, my fears and worries. I don't think I'll ever run again without thinking about her. My prayers are with her family and her kids, her friends and students. Everyone including all the runners out there that now think it fear.
I look forward to running in her honor.
