This was inspiring to read. Thank you for sharing it.

Although I could find many excuses not to go, today I forced myself to accept an invitation to go trail running, and had a blast.

Afterward we warmed up in front of a fireplace at a restaurant. Although my friend was having wine, I stuck with seltzer and juice, and treated myself to some gourmet pizza and appetizers. It ended up being a really nice day where I almost felt free from pain. I'm grateful and proud that I gave myself a chance to have this day. Day 16.
