I can run!

After my car accident in 2004 I was told I may never be able to run again, I had fractured my pelvis in two places and also cracked my sacrum. A couple years went by and I could barely walk around to buy groceries, the thought of never being able to run again had me pretty depressed. I never liked to run in the first place but since it was something I couldn't physically do I wanted to even more. I went to see specialist after specialist who couldn't fix the problem. I honestly believe having children is what has made the difference. I can actually run again and it feels amazing. I was telling Zach last night on our evening run that the burn you feel when your body is aching everywhere feels incredible to me. It's made me appreciate the little things my body can do, I took it for granted before I knew what it was like to not have the ability. I'm just so excited that this week has been the first time since my accident I have felt almost whole again.
