when it occurred to me that I was doing the very thing that I can do to help. I can run.

Please consider this challenge to raise funds for Haiti. A fund for Catholic Relief Services has been created. I invite you to run too! You can join Running For Haiti as a runner, send out your own invites to your own friends and family and send your funds through the same foundation. More information will follow soon!

Truth

The first ten yards stopped me in my tracks today. I guess I am really injured. I did not go home though; I walked six miles instead.

I am coming clean here. I might have to walk these miles for a while while this leg repairs itself. I am laying this out there so that those who are sponsoring "running" will know that I am not actually running right now. I will, of course, announce the happy day that I can get back to running, but for now I walk. So be it.

It was an absolutely beautiful day to walk. Although I was trying to keep a decent pace, I enjoyed the scenery and birdsongs along the way. Life is good.

  2. I'm not sure what happened. Feels like a charlie horse in my calf. It doesn't hurt at all until I run, not even to the touch. Then, after running, stairs are a killer. Hmmm...

    Oh well, I am forced to slow down and listen to the world!
