Is it sad that I forgot how to even start a new blog post? I couldn't find the button that said "New Post."
It's been
Let me just say the last 2 years have been rough. Let me step away from the running blog for a minute and get you caught up.
As you know from the last couple of posts, I had a baby on July 28, 2017! Yay me! Ha! Actually he is 20 months old (over 1.5 years old) today. He is seriously the most fun baby/toddler/kid ever! And the most hard work ever! lol. I love watching him learn "all the things" like sitting up, standing up, walking/running, talking, singing, dancing...it's endless!
A little ladies man! |
So I needed to focus on the positive first before I list some negatives.
I lost a dear friend Kathy in October 2017 to cancer. I met her running and but we definitely became more than that. Losing someone so young is heartbreaking.

My dad spectated a race of mine in 2009. He was a runner before I was so he enjoyed these things. |

You know, my dad always loved my blogging. And my running. So I need to continue to do the things that make him proud of me. Every time something gets hard, I think of him.
And every time I run a certain route near my house, I think of my friend Kathy.
And my grandma was just a special woman that did so much in life for me. I felt like we had a special bond. I was her first granddaughter. She took me shopping, on vacations, and just gave me so much love.
I'm blessed to have the people in my life for the amount of time I did. I try to not forget that when I dwell on the "bad" things. I need to focus on the good things.
