A Goal

In the spring of 2011 I was in a remission period of lyme disease and I took up running. I ran a few 5k's and my first ever half marathon. I loved how I felt running and I never ever thought I would think or feel that. Soon after running the half marathon my lyme came out of remission and then a few months later I got pregnant and things went downhill.

As of now things are still rough and most of my days are spent in bed but I am determined to change that. I want to one day get back to running and I have set a goal in site. I have a dear friend, Lori, who is also a runner. I have asked her if at some point in the fall, winter, or spring if she will run a race with me and she said yes! Lori told me yesterday she was impressed with my motivation to run again and I told her that I need something to get me through this time of my life and I feel like running can be it. Lori then told me the reason why she started running and I knew immediately she understood where I was coming from. I knew I had asked the right person to run with!

Last night Lori sent me information on a race that will be taking place where she lives, which is about 5 hours from me. The race is in March of 2013 and I am determined that I will run this half marathon. I don't know if it will be my first race back or if I will get to run a race or a few before next March but I know one thing is for sure I will be in that race. I don't care if I have to walk I am running it. I am going to fight this lyme and show it who is boss!

Thank you Lori for being willing to run with me and for understanding why this is important to me! You are awesome!!!

So Lyme I'm going to be running by next spring whether you like it or not :-)
