For my challenge I decided to run as much of 2 miles as I could. I did 2 miles! I will admit some of it was walking, but considering how out of shape me and my running partner are we did great! This is a photo of my running partner. Together we completed 2 miles in about 35 minutes.
It was a challenge thats for sure. Due to all the rain we have had the paths were washed out in many places, and it was threatening rain all day long. But I know that rain, snow, or shine Caleb cannot escape his daily challenges. As the thought to give up and quit hit me I would try and block out any discomfort by thinking of all the challenges Caleb has already overcome. At one point I found myself chanting his name like a mini mantra for myself, and it worked it got me through it.
When any little stroke survivor completes a challenge, its truly is a beautiful sight to behold. Very few things in life can hold a candle to such an event. So one of my goals yesterday was to find beauty during our run.
As anyone who lives in Cincinnati this past month knows, this spring has been a challenge due to the 20+ inches of rain we have accumulated since March. The rain has been challenging to work around, but look at the benefits of dealing with it. Like one of these beautiful hemi kids these trees have overcome the odds and have risen up out of the mud and muck to create a truly inspirational sight.
