Physical therapy and much more

Hello blog readers,

Being how it has been a week since last week, a lot has happened.

First off, I have started with physical therapy and it did start off with some struggles but in the end, it was great because it means that I am making my way back to the world I have belonged to for almost 16 years. Pure blessing in it's own.

After the physical therapy, I got a steroid injection to the neck and to the arm and with the side effects were quite difficult but was prescribed medication to balance it all out and so far, so good. Staying strong.

Day after day, hour after hour and minute after minute, I just tried my best to get better and did 3 a day workouts and was putting miles and strength on my body. I was still able to run after physical therapy and it felt relieving.

And so far, I averaged 65.3 miles this past week and it went great. I ended on Saturday with a long run, 12 miles and on today's workout, I ran 20 miles at 6 a.m. and ran on a scenic highway and it was beautiful out. Even though it took me 3 hours to run the workout, I did it and felt accomplished because I have never ran 20 miles straight.

Adding onto my organizations for charities, I talked with my promoter about a new organization and I have made the decision of running for the Lupus Foundation and will be running a half marathon in September in the Black Hills and it will be great and beautiful. With time getting close to that race, I will keep many of you updated.

After running my tough workout this morning, I received a wonderful message on behalf of the One Spirit Organization for the Pine Ridge Reservation and it is a wonderful organization that helps the Lakota youth, I feel proud to be representing my Lakota people and the youth. And if many of you would like to know more about the organization, the website address is http://www.nativeprogress.org/ and you will see the wonderful things they are doing for the youth and reservation life.

With talking with Jeri Baker this morning, the director of the One Spirit Organization and she offered me a one in a lifetime event and that event is running in the New York City Marathon....and I was just shocked because as a runner, and running marathons, running Chicago, Boston and New York City is a must do. And I get that shot. And I would like to thank Jeri Baker and many of my friends and family for the support for my running. Words cannot express on how much everyone means to this mission. To give something back to everyone. The New York City ING Marathon is on November 4, 2012.

Keeping my faith in running for the Lupus Foundation and for the One Spirit Organization will be such great add ons and will be keeping everyone infomed with the future.

So, for those reading on, thank you and for those who continue to support my mission, thank you so ever much. :))

Also, Alan (little brother from another mother) says, "hi." again and such. Once again, enough said. 

Have a great one and spread the goodness in your heart!
