Strength

Eva had a check-up yesterday. The doctor was very pleased with the progress she is making and gave her a clean bill of health. She had to have two shots and some blood drawn. She was a little trooper although not without some squirming. All three nurses commented on how "strong" she is.

After sharing in Eva's struggles to stand and walk, I decided I wanted to challenge myself to do something difficult for me. So, I set a goal of running a road race this summer. I've been using some free time to lift and run in order to get ready. I think it's only fair that I push myself after pushing Eva so much. I'm also chairing a Lighten Up Iowa team at work and encouraging others to adopt a healthful lifestyle.
