| By completing this Half Marathon I will prove to myself that if I set my mind to something I can do anything. Living life for me has always been about making the most of every opportunity and finding the good and happiness in all. Unfortunately, since November of 2007, I have been living in constant pain. I suffer from daily headaches, and never know how much the pain will affect me. Because of this, I have had to limit my physical activity, as running tends to worsen the pain. I love playing softball, and the exercise of being outdoors. Although I am not always able go for a run, or keep myself in the best of shape, I am determined to finish the Eugene Half Marathon. I have never liked looking at my headaches as a crutch, and have always pushed myself to do more. And because I know I can do it! |
