On June 20th, I will be running my own personal brand of ultra. A 7 hour and 26 minute endeavor on a treadmill. Why, oh why you ask, would anyone in their right mind do that?

So here we are again, our life an open book. It wasn’t long after my son’s health issues first emerged last year that I realized I needed to share it with the world. By using our life as an example, I quickly found I could reach others which was perfect because I needed a platform [...]

Or so said the decorative sign. For a split second, I wanted to throw something at the sign as I found myself irrationally angry with an inanimate object. Better judgement prevailed and I kept running.

As January forges ahead, we brace for impact yet again. Our medically complex son, Emmett, almost 2 years old now will be heading in for his third surgery at the end of this month.

I didn’t realize just how long it’d been since I’ve blogged until I received a comment on my most “recent” post, back in June before my son’s surgery!

Less than a week from today! Next Wednesday (June 20th), I will attempt an 8 hour treadmill run, or however long it takes for my little boy to safely emerge from surgery.

On June 20th, my 15 month old son Emmett will undergo a cranial vault reconstruction. It’s a 7 to 8 hour surgery where they will literally break apart his skull, reshape the bones, and put it back together with plates and screws.

I used to hear this ALL the time. There are naysayers everywhere and honestly, I know a lot of them.

I am excited to announce I’m now officially a pacer for the 5/3 Riverbank Run!

As the Riverbank Run draws near and the ground beneath my feets grows ever unsteady, I have made a decision. I have decided to keep going.
