Maybe, just maybe

        Maybe, just maybe I can imagine myself doing this 50 miler race. Two weeks of no or minimal running due to back pain and I come back to this, a 20 miler done effortlessly. What a surprise to get to 13 miles and feel as strong as if I've just begun. The next day I run 8 with my new running buddy, Willie. 28 freaking miles in 2 days....okay.....so I can allow myself to again envision that finish line.
