This morning I ran the race.

This morning was the "Race to stop the silence and stop child sexual abuse".  It was an 8k; a five mile run.  Five miles isn't too far a distance for me but at the beginning of the race this morning I was thinking it was about to be the longest five miles ever.  Luckily my friend I was running with began to talk about someone he knows who ran a few hundred miles over several days.  That was a good story and made the five miles seem pretty small.  Three friends ran it with me and 6 friends were waiting at the finish line.  So it was good.  And I was happy.  I'm looking forward to seeing the photos from the race. :)

This was the second time I ran this race and my favorite part of today was realizing how much better I am doing than I was last year at this time.

I know many folks who have found things that have helped heal them, and it's not the stuff that we counselors often preach. I learned that individuals heal themselves when they find a passion that works for them...I learned this from my friend Michele Rosenthal at healmyptsd.com
