America On A Runner's High ... The Heartland | Page 2

https://runnershighheartland.wordpress.com/page/2

America On A Runner's High … The Heartland. The Kentucky River Runs Through It. September 24, 2011 by Christopher Wolfe. Marion, Iowa has a population somewhere around 30,000. Frankfort, the State Capital of Kentucky, has a population that is less than 30,000. It’s not the smallest in the United States but it certainly sits pretty high on the list. In no way does this diminish its importance or attractiveness. And it is a perfect size to explore while on a long run. I came to an intersection where a man ...

Cure Charlotte: September 2010

http://blog.curecharlotte.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Thursday, September 2, 2010. Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Lets face it- September brings a lot of memories and emotions for everyone on this list. And throughout Charlottes journey, I have had the honor and privilege of getting to know a great many people fighting this battle. Heartfelt touching stories of survival, devastating stories of loss, amazing stories of hope and courage. I have laughed with many of you, and, unfortunately, cried with many more. I only hesitating a moment before I realized-...

Cure Charlotte: A Break in Routine

http://blog.curecharlotte.com/2010/04/break-in-routine.html

Monday, April 5, 2010. A Break in Routine. Because we have a lot to celebrate this year, (the latest being Charlotte's remission - declared on March 31st, 2010) we decided to extend our yearly hotel stay by an extra day. We had to dig deep in our pockets, but the weekend ended up being crappy outside, so it turned out beautiful. And, it reminded me why big kids can be just as much fun as babies, and how husbands can be clumped into the big kid category. Rebekah, my pride and joy on this planet, who is on...

Cure Charlotte: March 2010

http://blog.curecharlotte.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 15, 2010. Tonight - A Poem. I rocked with you tonight. I breathed in the Johnson and Johnson smell of your soft hair. The peach fuzz that stubbornly returned. After chemo had claimed everything but your laughter. It moves as I exhale. I wanted to snuggle. To pretend you were still brand new and vulnerable. When nothing could calm you except your pacifier and swaddle blanket. Before you were diagnosed. But you won't have it. You would rather fight. Begging me to put off your bed time. When i...

Cure Charlotte: January 2011

http://blog.curecharlotte.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Where has the time gone? Charlotte is going to be two in a month, Bekah will be eight in April, and Kevin and I are having another baby in June. Actually, small creepy factoid- this baby is due June 24th. Otherwise known as the day Charlotte was diagnosed with cancer. What has happened the last six months or so besides all this? And speaking of Charlotte, she has learned to talk. And not a few words here and there- complete sentences. I want some.”. 8220;No.”. 8220;I dome mo!

A New Direction | Chronicles of a Completely Unperfect Mom

https://completelyunperfectmom.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/a-new-direction

Chronicles of a Completely Unperfect Mom. March 10, 2010. Filed under: Following God's Path. 8212; Mom @ 4:04 pm. When I was a child, my dad used to take the back roads as much as possible. At any given time, he may not know where we were, but he told us that he knew which general direction he was driving and that was all that mattered. Lately, my work life has been much like those drives with dad so many years ago. Because of Caitlynn’s illness, Lindsay was involved with Capital Candlelighters. God has ...

Cure Charlotte: On Subliminal Messages

http://blog.curecharlotte.com/2010/03/on-subliminal-messages.html

Thursday, March 4, 2010. Last night was my third night on the C25K program, and by the end of the 1.19 mile jog/walk, I was in agony. And not the good kind of agony where your lungs burn a little, and your muscles are weak, but you feel accomplished; nope, the kind of agony where it feels like someone cut your leg open and ripped out your tendons and muscles from your feet to your knees. I figured I would feel better after some rest, right? Now, if this isn't my own body sending me a message, I don't kno...

Cure Charlotte: February 2010

http://blog.curecharlotte.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 26, 2010. Today is day four on my new routine of running and eating better. This morning, I had to DRAG myself out of bed and out the door to go for my jog. I couldn't believe I was going, and had almost succesfully talked myself out of it- but I'm glad I didn't. After a few minutes I felt energized; and frozen. The wind chill was in the single digits, and my face felt like it does when the dentist injects you full of novocaine. Kristi M. Rufener. Kristi Rufener Charlotte's Mom. It's an ...
