I have pledged to myself to run 1000 miles this year from March 23rd 2012 to March 23rd 2013. I will try to attach this blog to the livestrong site to accept any donations to cancer research. My goal is $1000 by the end of this year.
I am doing this for myself mostly as I find myself sliding into depression easily. Going for a jog helps me to see the world in a more positive way. It helps me release grief, be more at peace and maintain my blood sugar.
Today I ran 2.5 miles with my dog Zues on the trails of Mnt. Tom. I do not want any jogging partners other than my dog he is the best. He does not mind if I cry, slow down or speed up, or if I am lost in my own thoughts. If I fall down he will faithfully come back to me and try to poke me with a stick or bite me. Zeus is just what I need right now.
Thank you everyone who has written kind notes, called or just thought of me and Bennett.
Pat, I found your blog! I am so glad you created it. I am cheering you on--in all ways.
ReplyDeleteLots of love,

I've now officially begun following your blog, Pat. And, just read the first post. I'm going to try reading from the beginning chronologically, though I may want to just sit for a while with some posts as I go. I may even need a Zeus of my own to bite me or nudge me with a stick.
