The following entries (from beginning runner to half marathon finisher) represents a continuing journey of tremendous grief and sorrow, and of transformation - largely through the therapeutic power of running. The sorrow that has broken my heart open wide has in time allowed me to experience the beauty of being in the present moment. And of course, without the support of family and friends to guide me, I would not have made it this far.

If you have lost someone in your life, I offer these words and verse (some Kristy's, some mine and others) with the hope it may touch your heart and help you heal.

LONG RUN TODAY

The long run is 6 miles this week. Since the lake is crowded on the weekends I chose to run on the treadmill at the gym. This is good because I could set my pace: 10 minute warm up run, 20 minute easy run, 20 minute moderate tempo and the rest faster tempo. All in all it took 66 minutes and lotsa sweat. My legs felt strong from the strength training but I think I need to do cardio cross training as I felt a little winded at the end.

Today's workout: 6 miles on treadmill
