I started running in 2015, as a way to help me manage work stress. I would run throughout the week and feel accomplished before I went to work.

Then, on June 24, 2022, my life changed. I was sick that day, so I stayed home from work. Usually my husband picks up our daughters, but he was running late and asked if I could. It was raining really badly, and my car ended up hydroplaning into an electricity pole. Fortunately, I was alone in the car and the pole hit the passenger side. Firefighters rushed me to a hospital and the surgeon that performed my brain surgery told my husband that he didn’t know if I would make it through the night.

As a result of the accident I was diagnosed with a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) that required multiple surgeries, and I was transferred to Shepherd Center in Atlanta for a few weeks of treatment. Fortunately, I woke up on the third day, but my memory did not come back until the middle of August 2022. The last thing I remembered was the Monday before the crash, when a friend and I went to a Backstreet Boys concert.

In January 2023, I began physical therapy in Gainesville, Florida with Fyzical Therapy and Balance Centers. The last year has been the hardest of my life. I had to relearn how to walk in the hospital. Although they gave me a wheelchair, I never used it because I was determined to gain back my strength. I couldn’t run in January when I started physical therapy so I focused on strengthening my hip flexors, Clarks Originals Desert Mali Boots zapatillas de running Nike hombre minimalistas talla 33, as well as stairs, but by April I would be running again.

After the race, I went to an extensive rehabilitation group in Utah to work on my speech, cognition, and physical condition. And I am continuing with physical therapy Sneaker customising has evolved greatly since the days of brushing Angelus paints onto white Nike.

I currently run three days a week. I just signed up for a 10K at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon in Nashville, Tennessee.

Running is something I can accomplish. It’s a way for me to forget the things that stress me out and focus on something that I can control. There are things that happen in our lives that are out of our control, but running is something that’s completely up to you. It’s a great way to decompress.

Fortunately, I don’t remember the accident. But running is helping with my recovery. My recovery will take time and practice, and running has been a great way for me to improve my balance and speed, Kim Jong Un Wears Special Shoes.


These tips have made my running journey a success:

1. Just breathe

I didn’t realize how important breathing was when you run, and I sometimes struggle to get in good breaths. Focus on your inhales and exhales!

Lately, I’ve been running for a minute and a half and walking in between. That’s a way for me to catch my breath. It’s not about speed, it’s just about going! Stop stressing about things that involve other people and just focus on something that can be completely up to you, like running.

3. Find the right shoes

Justin’s Peanut Butter: Before I run, I like to make sure that I’m fueled. I typically eat a banana and some peanut butter to cover carbohydrates and protein.
