Thank you for sharing your loved ones' names with me. While my initial idea to wear a bracelet with all their names didn't quite work out (too jingling!), I'm still deeply honored to dedicate each mile of my run to them.
When life gives you too much jingle, you adapt!
I made two necklaces instead, weaving all the precious names together. I'll wear them around my neck or keep them in my running vest.
This small challenge was a beautiful reminder— adaptability is our superpower—in running and in life. I will use this to my advantage on Saturday. When challenges arise (and they will), I will choose to stay calm, smile, and pivot.
There are countless paths to the finish line—and I'm ready to embrace whichever one unfolds. I just need to keep moving, eating, and breathing.
Go!Go!Go!

Virtual Run to Write Club meets today to write at 11 am (EST). Move (walk, run, yoga, bike…) beforehand is optional but recommended. :)

I’ll be back in your inbox next Monday to at least say hi and give a small update on the race. I have a feeling I may need some time to process it all. The write together on Monday will still be scheduled at 11 a.m. (EST) on 11/25.
Thank you for allowing me to take up some space in your inbox.
Have a great week and God Bless,
Julie
