Strolling to the Sounds of Grief

26.2 Happens (or not)

Today was the day I was supposed to have finished my first marathon – 26.2 miles – and I couldn’t help but reflect on that fact on this beautiful Sunday in May. It seems this was not the year for me to do this. Part of me is very competitive (with myself) and I could…
