October 23 2016 Working Toward That Hall of Fame

I had a lot of pain this week for some reason. Might have been because I'm upping my game in the physical therapy department. Or might be because Nalu is back home. Either way, I spent some quality time with ice packs and my recliner this week.

In other news, I walked around my block for the first time on Wednesday...and held back tears the whole time. I do have some rough days--physically as well as emotionally. Wednesday was a hard hitter for both physical and emotional roughness.Unnecessary roughness, I daresay. I was proud of myself for getting around the whole block, but so frustrated at how hard it was.

So, in order to keep myself motivated, I've somehow ended up signing up for two 5Ks. Two! Of course, I'll most likely be walking them both, but come hell or high water I will be there for both.

And. Well. I'd like you to be there too. The race coordinators have been kind enough to sponsor me in these races, seeing my story as one that could inspire others. But in return, I've told them I would spread the word.
So here's me spreading the word...

Santa Run December 3

Looks like a Santa version of Where's Waldo

I'm doing the Provo one. Don't think I'll be ready for the ones in November.
This one looks pretty fun. You do the run in a Santa Suit. And honestly, I'll welcome any extra layers.

Beat the New Year, December 31

In Salt Lake City. I'm super excited for this one. A New Year's Eve run. New Year's Eve is usually fairly anticlimactic, but this year I'll be ringing in the New Year by successfully crossing a finish line with a body full of healing bones. Cool? Yes.

Come do one or both with me, and make sure I don't pass out. :) J/K (but kinda serious). I need all the support I can get!

And to finish this off, here's my song of the week:
