getting ready to RUN

Well I'm finalizing my schedule and plan to start full go on Monday. I have a peace about me - like this is what I'm supposed to be doing. I"m also looking for a superman wristband to wear while I train - I think when I look down at it I'll remember heck 3, 4,8, 10 or 13 miles is NOTHING compared to our superman. I"m being a BIG FROG right now.
Also want to post that I check up on many J5 kids and Mason Woods isn't doing very well. Mason was in the hospital when Trey was first in there and had a successful Bone marrow transplant from his brother - Trey. Mason sent Trey a lot of greeting cards and even though they never really hung out they had a special connection. I talked to Brad - Ryan's dad and he seems to be doing better from the other night - he's having headaches and has to have some tests on Monday. Keep praying for these special kids. They go thru so much, more than we will ever know.

the beginning

Well Over the past couple of weeks I've had a lot of thinking time. Reflecting on my joys and heartaches we've had with Trey. I read a post from another parent that lost a child to leukemia and she was trying to do something to keep her daughters memory... SO I started thinking about what I wanted to do. I want to now live for Trey, and for that it means staying healthy, living each day to the fullest, being able to do things that I know he's doing up in heaven. Like RUNNING. He ran everywhere and he was fast. SO this got me thinking - I'm going to run, so then I found out about team in training for the Leukemia and lymphoma society and how they're training to run the capital city 1/2 marathon in columbus on May 2nd - SO this is it. This is what I'm going to do. I've been working out for awhile running here and there - but now it's get serious time - focus and focus on Trey. How much he went thru in his last year - never complaing being our great superman. SO now it's my turn, not going to complain, just do it, live for the day and create a special time while I'm out running that I can focus on my training and what Trey would've wanted and how to reflect on him and our wonderful times I had with him. There are so many! While I"m running I"m also going to take the time to focus on my own faith, there are so many questions that I have, probably will never find answers until it's my turn to go, but I want to focus and take time for myself and my relationship with christ, my family and friends and breathe in the fresh air and run run run for Trey. SO I officially start my 14 week journey next week. I'll be posting as I run and complete our victory. I'll be posting poems to reflect my thoughts on life in general. The poems that I have posted to Trey's website will now be on here. You'll be hearing from me because while running I'm going to need some special sponsers to help me raise my money for the run - I believe i need to raise $1500 - which with all our special family and friends we can do it. I'll keep updating and wish me luck. It' s the beginning of my rememberance of MY SUPERMAN!
