(To Kristy) As I ran the lake yesterday I was reminded of a conversation we had once. I told you how my sister Kim and I had walked around the whole lake. Each time we came upon one of the many wooden benches we would stop and see if there was a plaque. Many of the benches have them and they were very touching. I remember telling you about two which really stuck with me. One of them said "Somewhere in the mists of time, we remember."
The other bench I passed yesterday, as I do at least once a week. It says "Our little girl, forever in our heart" It is dedicated to Helen Mayer who would have been in her 60's when she died. I told you then, as I am telling you now - you will always be my little girl. This would never have changed. No matter how old you were you would always have been my little girl.
I love you, Mom
Today's' workout: 66 minutes on treadmill. 10 minutes were devoted to an easy pace for warm up but I still did 6 miles, with a tempo pace similar to yesterday. Today I stayed 54 minutes in zone as compared to 44 yesterday at the lake. Average HB 142.
I'm not a runner - just a mom trying to deal with the death of her daughter. Kristy was a multi-talented woman and a professional athlete. Running helps me to feel her presence. And it offers a little peace. - Kristy's mom
