If I woke up tomorrow and knew that I could never run again...

I'd be very very sad. But I'd be ok. Its something I've gone back and forth about. While being here in Oregon I've really wanted to run but it hasn't been a possibility since, towards the beginning of my visit, I threw my low back out.

A week or so ago, in my yoga class, my instructor said to think of something you are deeply grateful for and I had to choose my ability to move and do yoga. Yes, its incredibly discouraging and frustrating to have all these set-backs, but I'm still able to go through a super intense 60 or 75 min hot yoga class or hop on the eliptical and sweat it up. I am also able to pick up my not-so-teeny nephew and spin him around, or race him up and down the street.

So yes, running may not be something I can do again,to the extent I'd like, (or maybe I will!!!) but I'm super grateful for everything else I can do.

And...one day, maybe I'll run here ;)
