The race is on!
Today, I start the end of a long journey. In May, I began to run for the first time. I took my two herniated discs, muscle atrophy, neuromas and a variety of issues, on the road with me. The goal? A Half Marathon on December 6, 2009 in Las Vegas. Originally, twelve other people were…
