The finish line of this year's SD Half with an Inspirational Runner-Kay I usually don't have the time nor the energy to write more than one blog in a seven day period let alone a two day one, but I was inspired to do another short one for this week. I have shared more than once, maybe close to a million times by now, that I am completely inspired by my friend Kay and the grace, strength, humor, resilience, determination, and selflessness she displayed during her fight with cancer. I have used her story to push myself on when I felt like I wanted to quit, and the pain and struggles she experienced during the last two years also remind me that the little things that annoy me and the small obstacles I experience are nothing compared to all that Kay endured.
So the reason for this second blog is that I want to gather a small army of friends, family, and acquaintances to join me in celebrating what Kay means to us all. This is her favorite race and the one where she made her comeback from her cancer journey. Some of you may be thinking--I can't run a half marathon, but remember where I came from and the obstacles Kay endured to run this race in March. If we can do it, I really believe that anyone can. And also remember that the beauty of these races is that you can do any combination of running walking that you would like and you have ten months to train for this challenge. A lot can happen in that amount of time.
I have often written about the value of setting a goal to help you moving along in your fitness journey, so I would personally like to challenge you to set the goal of joining me in running this beautiful half marathon in appreciation for all Kay means to so many and to celebrate the health of one amazing lady!
We love you Kay---from all your running buddies: Early Morning buddies, Ragnar buddies, Washington buddies, Running Camp buddies, and the list goes on and on!
