This post has nothing to do with veterinary medicine. I am feeling very blessed today and want to take a few minutes to share it, so indulge on this one post. I promise to be short! This exact weekend one year ago, I completed the Snickers Half Marathon. I was 18 weeks pregnant and in great shape. Fast forward one year later...I now have a 6 month old, am 15 pounds heavier and can only find the time to exercise, at best, 1-2 times per week. Last August before Wallace Anne was born, I set myself a goal, thanks to the urging of my sister, to participate in this run. Little did I know at that time how drastically my life would change and how difficult it would be to prepare for this run. I will admit there were times I was pushing that jogging stroller and cussing my sister for her bright idea, but I persevered. I am proud to say that yesterday I completed the Seaside Half Marathon and today, although very sore and tired, I am feeling so blessed. I am blessed to have two legs to carry me 13.1 miles, a husband who suports me in these activities, and a healthy baby girl to meet me at the finish line. God is good, isn't he! Above, from left to right are my friend Marie, myself, and my sister, Holly.
