Life is a path that continues to keep going, always bringing us different adventures, both good and bad. Friends are there forever. As I am getting ready to do the Fargo marathon in the next 10 days, a big concern of mine has been with a training partner, a Friend. He has been having some health issues, and until they get under control, can be serious. This is the time to reflect back and remember that we all have goals, we all want to be healthy, but we have to remember to be smart and do what is safe. This is not always the answer we may want to hear. My friend has put in a lot of work getting ready for this marathon, and now can’t do it. I want to run it with him, but not at the potential expense of his health. Life is too short already. We want to be active, enjoy life, present ourselves with challenges, but we need to be safe.
We need to look beyond the now, and into the future. There will be another day, another marathon, another challenge. So training partner, FRIEND, I will get ready with you on another one in the future, and help you accomplish your goal. I want you to take care of yourself first and foremost. There will be another race, and I will help you get it done. Be safe! I will still be running with you in my head on May 19 in Fargo.
Keep moving everybody. Be safe!
