Running with Gratitude Grief, & Gastroparesis (#Irun4GG)

It's been a difficult 3 months..
The pain of grief & gastroparesis can be intense...



In spite of the pain, I keep on running...


I finished the Chicago Marathon in 4:05:58





Michael & GG were with me...

Every step of the way...



I find solace in running...

I'm grateful for every mile...

Training for my 3rd Philly Marathon...



Identical twins run with Team Lemon

Are you training for the Philadelphia Marathon?

Are you a runner with chronic illness?

Do you find solace in running?
