The mild Pittsburgh Winter has passed and a warm sunny Spring has sprouted. Flowers bud in my front yard, birds chirp and kids ride their bikes that have been sitting dormant since the holiday.
Running season is back; no more treadmill work outs for me. I'm back in the woods. Running the trails and being chased by a flock of wild turkeys. OK...maybe not chased: I accidentally ran through a flock (or gaggle) of turkey on the trail and the turkeys weren't sure to flee or attack...I ran fast that day.
Last fall I decided that running was going to be a major part of my health and how I would do my advocacy work. My first major race of the year will be the Pittsburgh 1/2 marathon on May 6th. It looks as if I will have a t-shirt designed and printed by folks who also have a NMO. It will be a special feeling for me to wear a t-shirt that represents the people and the cause that I am running for.
It has been about three weeks since I wrote my “Radical Reversal” blog post. Since then I have not written publicly because of my need to digest the feedback that I was getting from the post. Also, I have not written due to the fact that I have been taking lots and lots of photos. More to come on the photos...good stuff!
The feedback I received from my post was split down the middle...I was either placed on a pedestal or I was knocked off my pedestal. Either place that I was put, I deserved neither the praise nor the put down. With that said, thank you to all who took the time to write to me, it was appreciated.
