Dreams

It was a bittersweet weekend for me. While a dozen or so of my friends tackled my dream--running the Chicago Marathon--I struggled to run consecutively for five minutes. It's hard to believe I lost a quarter of a year from my injury, especially when I'd trained so hard and was finally feeling confident in running long distances. It's hard to start at the beginning, to struggle with running what could easily be a warm-up.

But, I'm enjoying the time outdoors, the ability to walk normally again and the great fall weather. There's always next year, right?
