I used to take it for granted
I used to take being able to exercise daily for granted. Although, I did know that being single allowed me to be selfish and get up at the crack of dawn and not bother anyone. But, not being able to exercise the past couple of weeks makes me REALLY appreciate finding the time to be able to get in a run. I think I ran once last week and I got up and ran this morning. My stamina was down but it felt good other than that, even alone in my neighborhood. Had to be at the hospital at 630 am to relieve the night shift but woke up at 4 am so decided I should hit the road just in case there is any hope I might be able to do the marathon. I couldn't run any more after 4 miles but maybe I'll get some more stamina in the coming weeks. If I have hospital coverage, I'll come do some of the 22 on Saturday--it would be nice to see everybody! But, if my brother gets out of the hospital, I won't be there and won't run this marathon but I'll do another one later on!

Things are going to work out! But, you are right about exercising. Enjoy being able to use your legs and body to do things that some people are not able to do. You are such a great person. And thanks for your comment on my last blog. That was so sweet. I'll keep praying for you and your brother and family.
Hey Carol...
I'm thinking about you and your brother. It is good that you can be there for him when he needs you most.

We miss you so much! Hang in there. Running is like therapy so glad that you got some in. Suzanne
Hope we see you on Saturday.
And, you know, it's not selfish when you take care of yourself by getting in exercise time. It gives us greater strength to help our friends and families -- even if we do fall asleep in the middle of conversation now and then!

We get reminded in life from time to time what we take for granted. There are some things that never even occur to us. Good health is one I try earnestly not to take for granted. Your message spurs me on to realize what a blessing just getting to run is...not a chore, a blessing. I hope your brother is progressing well from his surgery.
