As an African-American woman, I debated as to whether or not I should respond. But here goes...This year has been unbelievably hard, for all the reasons you know. I am not celebrating a victory because there's still so much to be afraid of. To be honest, running has probably been the one thing (besides family and God) that have kept me going, and sometimes when I run, I'm fearful...will I make it back home? It's exhausting and I'm tired of being strong, and angry at the same time. Yes, I'm angry because I have to be "strong" for myself and everyone else. I will keep going because there is no other choice. There are flickers of good things...I have a race on Saturday (Kentucky Derby mini-marathon) and am looking forward to it. Like Dory said in "Finding Nemo"...just keep swimming...and that's what I'm going to do.

Terrell, you could try copying your dog and the three circles. There may be something to it! ;)
