I am not sure this was a good idea

A week or so ago I promised a "nice story" but then diverted into my usual abyss. So now back to the nice story, sort of.

3 years ago, almost to the day, Lisa underwent her transplant. On one of the mornings when I was headed up to the hospital to see her i saw this line of people running up the hill. As I got closer I realized that it was Team in Training out for their final long, 20 mile , run leading up to the Flyng Pig marathon. I thought to myself, "if you people only knew how important this is to us". You are running for me and my family and especially my wife.

Fast forward 3 years and I am out on the very same run. Lisa is home in bed and the kids are watching TV and nobody is going to the doctor. A side note--the weather turned cold and windy on that training day and we had to send a few hypothemics to the hospital--but why ruin a heartwarming story?

Now I must admit that I performed poorly on that training day and I am not anticipating doing much better in the actual race tomarrow. I'm not sure if we have come a long way or if we have made little of a second chance. So the bottom line is to learn from tomarrow and then try to move on.
