Hi everyone!

I was thinking a lot about how special Lily is to all of us and I wanted to show her my support in some way. There isn't much I can do from all the way over here in Delaware unfortunately. So, I thought about it and I decided to run for her yesterday. My run was dedicated to her.

I ran for her, all the while praying for her quick recovery. I figured she can't be on a TM or out there right now so I'll run for her.

I ran harder than usual. I ran 3 miles at an 8:29 pace for her, thinking of her and pushing myself and being strong, just like she's being now.

Get well soon Lily! You are in my thoughts and prayers! :hug: :flower3: :love: :lovestruc

Lily My Sweetie

I ran 7.2 miles in 70 minutes for you today. All 3 of us have had you in our hearts and minds all week, and I gladly give these to you. You have given us so much friendship and support. Thanks.

Really cool idea Howard. With Lily on IR for a few weeks, we can be her surrogates.

Lily I can't give you any miles since I'm lamed up right now but I will do my hour of stretching and calistetics for you.:hug:

Great idea Howard, I was trying to think of some way to honor and support our dear friend.

Hello Lily! My run today, what few miles and minutes I can do, is for you: 3.5 miles in 45 minutes.

I need to THANK YOU for that, too. Normally I would have called it good after the 5K, but I knew the run was for you, so I kept going.

Get better soon & know we're thinking of you!

I just want to say that on my 3 mile walk on Sunday I said out loud "This one's for you Lily" sorry I didn't run but I decided I am adding walking to my training and Sunday was a walking day (even though I threw some running in there - I figure I walk on my runs why not run on my walks!! LOL)

WISH Team is the Best! I am so crying right now. I am humbled and honored.

Thanks to all for your support. I truly appreciate it and wonder if I can ever be worthy of all that I am given.

I must say that I am hurting, but mending. Doc gave me good news as he was releasing me this past weekend. I asked if I he thought I would be participating in the Minnie or just cheering the sidelines. He looked me in the eye and said to plan on participating. He sees no reason for me to sit it out. I am going to s-l-o-w-l-y work toward that goal.

It is amazing that right now that shower thing is exhausting (ooh but I did manage to get my hairs dried today too!) Doc said walking is good and he recommended I continue with that. So here I am doing track in the house. I did all of 10-minutes today! I'm ready for a nap now.

What a great Doc you have there, to look you square in the eye and tell you to "plan on it."

Welcome back, you have been missed.

Lily:

I am happy you have returned to the boards! I hope your tenderness and pain are magically whisked away and that you can get back to being an upright (running/walking) inspiration to us again. You have the other angles all covered. :hug: :hug: :hug: :lovestruc :flower3:

Lily: so happy to see you on the boards! Don't get overly tired. Let DH take very good care of you which I'm sure he is doing. Get lots of rest and mend. I do like that your doc said to plan on running the Minnie! What a great guy.
