Running for Ray

May 4, 2008

Everyone has goals, goals that drive us out the door on rainy mornings, when the bed is warm and the road is not, goals that make us believe. Sometimes dreams don't come true....Sometimes we work hard, give it everything we got and still the dream eludes us. But still we run...I've begun to realize that it's not in the achievement of a goal that makes it worthwhile, it's in the every day experience of pushing, just a little bit farther...a littel bit faster.

I can't bring my cousin back, but I can live, I can go on and chase my dream. That dream is a sub 3:00 hour marathon. And so now I am training, and living every day to see that dream become a reality. The target is the Chicago Marathon in October. Running for Ray....
