I Can Do Hard Things

I had a massage on Saturday to work on my quads at TMT.  He worked my glute med good and it felt so much better.

I woke up middle of the night with a sore left hip.  By Sunday, I could hardly walk on it.  Sunday night, I woke up from a dead sleep with incredible pain.  It literally brought me to tears.  I think I was experiencing nerve pain.  I've never felt anything like it before.

There was no way I could run today.  I've been praying all day that the pain would subside and it finally has.  I'm going to try to run on it tomorrow.  The build for this marathon has been the most trialsome ever.  If I finish, it will truly be a miracle.  The only reason I'm continuing training is because my son asked to run a marathon with me.

2xhospital mile (to see if I could even run) + Evergreen + Melissa's street.  61 degrees!!!!  I got news this morning that my dad was hit by a vehicle while riding his bike.  And then his wife passed away while waiting to go see him in the ER.  

I'm grateful that I was able to run this morning to process all of this.

Caveman Blvd - Art Dye Hill - MCT - Field - New entrance - 57 degrees.  I haven't felt this good in a long time!  Grateful for the little running love deposit.  

My baby is leaving on her mission to Nashville, TN.  It doesn't get any easier.
