A poem from Staring Down a Dream: A Mom, a Marathoner, a Mission.

          The Dream 

The dream began in 1998
to run The Boston Marathon—
was going to be great.
I was eager in 2003, yet my
body and mind didn't agree.
The pain took over
and consumed my days.
I wanted to keep running—
push through, shove it down
I believed that was the way.

God had a plan—
I'd have to wait.
Shame rooted deep, an inside job
I would need to reap. 
Face my fears,
do not hide. 
He gave me strength and
never left my side.
To follow my dream 
I would need to let go
The burdens I was carrying, 
too many,
I know. 
Conformed by thoughts
no longer true. 
It's okay to question—
start a new.
I held tight to Courage 
and began to unpack.
My load getting lighter 
as my runs
were coming back. 
I don't need fixing after all.
Everything was already inside me—
My focus 
returned to the Lord 
to guide me.

Thinner does not mean faster.
