It seems like I have abandoned my blog! Not really. My knee injury did side line me. I have stopped training. I will not be running the Bayshore Marathon, nor will I be running any other race planned for this season. Am I sad or disappointed or defeated? If the reason was my knee, then my answer would be YES! Why? Honestly, because an old knee injury has prevented me from doing what I set out to accomplish. But I am not disappointed or sad....I'm blessed! I am pregnant! Not expected, considering we were told almost 2 years ago that we would not be able to have any more children. God had another plan. And we accept His gift and blessing gratefully!!!! Complications early on has prevented me from even trying to continue to train for the marathon or even the 1/2 marathon. As much as I would love to join my fellow road runners, I sit on the sidelines, cheering on many of my friends who will be running their first race and others who will be adding yet another race to their running resume! There will always be another race to run! But for now....I am preparing for a different kind of marathon! One that will bless us in October! I look forward to running off those pregnancy pounds during the winter months. And hope to run my first race, as a mother to two, in the spring! Best wishes and Good Luck to all of you who are nearing the end of training for your first season race! I will be thinking and cheering for you!
Until our next run........
