![This is me in 2007 running the NYC marathon. Today I’m getting on a plane headed east—first stop NYC. Then on Friday I’m heading out to Chicago for the weekend to run said marathon. I’m doing this one with my best friend and it’s her first. I’ve been pretty sick for the last eleven days (in and our of the ER) so I haven’t been training—for awhile I wasn’t even sure if I’d be able to run in the marathon, which would have been awful. It feels pretty amazing to know that now I can run when for even eleven days, I wasn’t so sure. That uncertainty and doubt was enough to rock my boat pretty hard. So this year I’m going to wear a shirt that says…Because I Can on the back.
Because I Can.
