It's a bad day, I hurt my leg. I was playing basketball and pulled/strained my calf on my left leg. It hurt, I couldn't keep playing and I've been limping ever since. The worst part, I have a race on Saturday I do not want to miss.
If it was just another race, I would be disappointed, but it would be OK. This Saturday isn't just another race though. Last year I found out that one of my co-workers was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, while she was pregnant. We have never been close friends, but she is someone who is always nice and always has a smile on her face. In short, she is the person who makes the office a happier place to be. Today, my coworker and her baby are healthy, and I am running a part of a work team in honor of her as a cancer survivor.
I want to run for every time her smile brightens my day.
I want to run for every time she said thank you for even the littlest of things.
I want to run because the world needs more people like her.
So now I'm alternating ice & heating pads, I'm going get my leg healthy, and I'm going to run on Saturday. I have to admit it is a long shot, but I am determined to do it, so I'm just going to do it.
