Unleash the SHE

On my couch is a new Teal t-shirt, New running pants, teal TuTu, and the number 862.  

Tomorrow - I run my first ever 5K... Okay fine, I'm walking...but that isn't the point.

I have spent so much time putting things off!  Tomorrow is  new DAY!  

I am running in memory of an amazing lady who was taken way way too soon.  Missy and I went to High School together.  She was always such a smiley face and such an amazing friend.   But, I went to college and regretfully left everything behind.   And now 20 years later, I regret so much.   I regret not picking up the phone and making just a couple calls.  I regret not making time for old friends while my crazy life moved forward.  

I regret putting off the things I can no longer do, the phone call, meeting for coffee ... the simple things.

So here I am, the night before my first 5K, thinking of the people left behind and the things I never got around to doing. 

Tomorrow - we begin a new.  Dressed in my Tutu, I will complete this task, and look forward to the next.  And maybe, just maybe I will rekindle some old friendships along the way.

This one is for you Missy... I'm late...but I am here!  You will NOT be forgotten.
