4560 Sanctuary: run to win

my daughter, suzanne, runs. she has run and completed many marathons, triathlons and was training for her second half iron man. six weeks ago, while on her morning run, her foot started hurting. she pushed through a couple of miles, but then had to hobble home and rest her swollen, throbbing foot. the next day, the dr. confirmed what we had feared - she had a broken bone. it is not a normal broken bone, especially for an athlete - - her bone snapped.

training has been put on hold, she has been in a boot and on a scooter, is on super vitamins to try to build back her bone, and is counting down the days until she can run again.

running the race of life isn't always easy - we can encounter set-backs, experience disappointments and suffer broken relationships and dreams at different times. despite any set-backs, we are admonished to "run the race" that has been set before us.

each day i awake (after coffee) with anticipation and excitement of what my day has to offer. in spite of the difficulties or set-backs that life sometimes dishes out, we have such a great opportunity to make a difference in this world.
