@Shane, thank you – I agree about adversity. Not fun at the time but it helps make us stronger, if we let it.

@Julie, you were a significant inspiration during that time. I remember you sharing that story and realizing that yes, I probably would… but it seemed so far off. And here I am… this week I’ll hit 100 miles

Jason, I am proud of you and I can relate! You’re much younger than me (I don’t hide my age, I’m 53) and in 2003, I slipped on marble stairs in a building, stairs I had walked up and down for 12 years at the time. I was wearing new bifocals, it was the first slushy day of the season, and I went down. Long story short, I broke my ankle in 3 places. I still have the 8 pins and a plate in my leg. They told me I might never walk the same again. But in less than a year, I was hill-walking again, and now in the warmer months, Teddy and I regularly do 3 miles.

Attitude makes the difference… the I can’ts in our careers need to be replaced with I’ll try… because sometimes trying is all we can do. one babystep at a time…

You go, my friend!

Adversity is sometimes good and it can make us stronger if we get engaged.
Like many others, I believe you will do it!
With 311 days remaining, only 1.3344 miles per day.
