I lost a good friend and have not been emotionally or physically motivated. I am going to try to run soon, maybe tomorrow or later today. My friend was one who would always tell me I should go running, or tell the person I would be running with to make me go farther because I would feel more accomplished if I did. I remember his face when I told him that I ran to Waimea Bay, about 14 miles from Laie. He admired my running and always commented on my muscular legs. He also told me I have cute knees and pretty toes. I have jacked up runners toes with toenails that have grown back weird. Right now I miss my friend more than anything and I want to make him proud. He is one of the best friends I've ever had and it's really hard without him, but I will continue aiming for my goals and will run on in his memory. |
