I ran last year (2002) in June for my mother and for another teacher at the school she taught at with (by the way, over 75 teachers from their school came out to run for them). When June rolled around this year, I just wasn't ready for it yet. I think I could do it now, but I had a lot of anger in me near race time. The race is such a cellebration of surviving, and my mom didn't. That made me mad that so many people were allowed to live and my mom was taken from me. I guess at my frist race, I saw the survivors and I thought to myself that my mom would be here next year - and she'd be here as a survivor...but it didn't happen...
All that being said, I've sorted through all of those feeling and I'd be thrilled to run again! I plan on being out there in full force next June! I am going to run in the competition next year as opposed to just the fun run 5k.
