blue skies and bruised knees


i got shot in the knee yesterday. why? cause there is a clicking in my knee and causing my tibia to pop out. good news: im getting better. bad news: i feel like i got hit by a bus.

there is a light at the end of the tunnel, i am really excited to be united with my team again. i feel so lost without them. if it wasn't for their never ceasing support and constant smiling and hard work, i would not be able to make it.

i am reminded every day that i am here temporarily and that God is better than i could ever imagine. so i got injured...big deal? there are people who are starving and freezing. there are people who don't have families, who get sold into sex slavery, and are forced to submit to cruelty. so i got injured.....i'll deal with this small, so very small problem made perfection.

i am learning alot about myself. it takes alot more work to stay fit when you can't run. im not sure i like it. im positive that i would just rather run more hours on end then spend one more minutes with my face submerged in icy water or peddling one more mile on a stationary bike in a room surrounded with overweight skinny hopefuls. running...i can't wait to do it again.

i miss my coach.
i miss my team.
i miss my legs working right.
i miss my lungs burning.
i can't wait to run.

i walked 3 laps with no pain today....it's a start y'all.
i love you team,
ren.
