The title/quote of this blog post was all I was thinking about when I was the gym this week. For the past week, I have been in a walking boot because of heel pain. At the gym, I have been using the standardized bike and the rower. Since the start of my marathon training in September my personal trainer has been calling me a rock star. I have had two injures (achilles tendonitis and heel pain) and have been in two walking boots. During these experiences, I have never given up going to the gym three times a week or running during these injuries.

Yesterday, I went to Marathon Sports and I bought new running sneakers. These sneakers are going to be the sneakers I run the Boston Marathon in. They are so comfortable and I am able to fit my orthotics in them if I have to. Can’t wait to run 26.2 to beat cancer and to run for Kiera!
