I’m glad you’re here.

This blog is my personal story about running, writing and remembering – the good times, the sad times and all the times that make life what it is. If you’re a runner (either seasoned pro or not sure where to begin), a writer (be it a fellow blogger or a journal you keep at home), struggling with a loss (I lost my Mom too) or an athlete recovering from a serious illness or injury (like a blood clot), then this place is for you. If you’re looking for something that is real, encouraging, honest and not always perfect, then this place is for you.

  3. I’m only 63 and after a car knocked me down and I got 5 fractures- neck, right arm,left leg, thigh abscess and deep venous thrombosis
    of the left leg from the middle hip almost to the lower third of the leg. I was able to overcome my selves and through almost 8 months (I have been at 3 hospitals during 62 days) I came back to work and learn a little run and live a full life. First of all I learned to walk in a straight line, the stairs and hills in park from 1 hour to 3 hours of compression stockings to the groin on the left leg. It was so painful to tears learns to bend the knee. It was so painful to tears learns to bend the leg at the knee and wear retainers on the head and neck and chest.Now no one can believe how I was able to overcome their trauma.
