It’s only day one, but I’ve already uttered the words “I don’t plan to ever run again!” (since this injury may have been related to excessive mileage). My foot is in excruciating pain, I feel nauseous, and the beautiful weather is just taunting me. I am couch-bound, which is like a prison sentence to me.
At the same time, this helps remind me how lucky I am to be healthy. My pain and discomfort is (hopefully) temporary. In a week or so I’ll be walking again and the bruises and needle marks will be healed. Others, however, are not so lucky.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and my heart goes out to these moms.
I met this spectacular mom at BlogHer and was so inspired by her courage. She has two boys the same age as mine and last year battled for her life and WON!
Please visit the Susan G. Komen website and find a way to support this very important cause. Reach out to any moms, (or really anyone) you know that has been affected by cancer. Even the smallest of gestures can make a huge difference in someone’s day.
On that note, thank you to all the wonderful people who have called, emailed, and offered to help me. Thank you Mom & Dad for watching my two loud and wild boys on Friday so my husband could be with me at the hospital.
Who can you thank today? Don’t wait until tomorrow.
Just like exercise and healthy eating, make “being thankful” one of your daily habits.

Wishing you lousy weather, so it doesn’t feel so bad to be couch-bound. (Of course, you will be doing better soon!)
