I spent some time journaling the other day and started reading through my old entries. This is my second entry in my journal dated 3-1-2012, three or four months before I started thinking of going on the race.
“You know it’s something good when you cry and feel this deep sigh coming from within your soul. Todays chapter was titled ‘Love Song for Fall,’ (I was reading ‘Bitersweet’ by Shauna Nyquist) but it wasn’t really about that. It was a call and an affirmation to do what you were meant to do. This is an awful and amazing book because it makes me hope and strive for something better, bigger, different, but it also makes me wish that I was already there. That I had made decisions to simply do something sometimes. That I would stop waiting for inspiration and would force it out from the depths of my soul because I’m positive that is where it’s hiding. So stop hiding! Inspiration, stop hiding from me! And me, stop hiding from inspiration! “
