Change of course

Well, since I haven't been able to keep up with this blog, and because of the fact that no one reads it, I decided to turn in into my "workout log blog."  This way I can keep track of my activities to see how what I do affects the way I feel physically, emotionally and spiritually.  Also, exercise is the best remedy for PD.  So changing it isn't too off topic.

9-1-14
 (Labor Day) -  Ran first 5K since June of 2011, when I ran the  Frank Valvano 5K. The day                  after that race I passed out in church and when I went to the ER, the doctor found a target                    rash behind my left knee.  Lyme Disease! I was sick for the next year and a half.  I spent                      most of the summer of 2011 in bed.  I fell into a very bad depression and felt my days of                      running were over.  Actually, I felt my days of doing anything were over.  I seriously                          thought I was headed for the nursing home.  (See previous posts to understand what I was
             going through.)   But God had a different plan for me and I didn't go there.

Anyway, I finished the Labor Day 5K in a very slow time of 35:45.  It was VERY muggy.  But it was to raise money for Teen Challenge,so it was worth it.  Richard, Alex and I met John at Kirby Park for the race.  The boys each got 2nd in their age group, but I was snake bitten, which means that I was one place away from getting a medal.  I really don't care about winning anything, I just thank God I was able to finish without passing out!
