It's been hard...

It was a tough Friday... it seems as though time has stood still, since then.
I set my alarm clock for Saturday because I had one more homework to complete for the week. I wasn't sure if I was going to do it when I woke up, all I knew is that I had to complete it.

Having known Meredith and Susie for a short time, they motivated us to give it our all, even when we didn't feel like it or thought we had no more to give.

So, I woke up Saturday morning with a sense of determination, I had a mission to complete. I went and got myself ready but I was still unsure, was I up for it? I went down stairs and took out my homework sheet. Started my homework and as I went through it I kept thinking of Meredith showing us each move so that we knew how to do it at home once we were on our own. I did the burpees and I think I actually enjoyed it. It was tough, I think when I got to the push ups I broke down.
It was hard doing the workout without thinking of Meredith, Susie and the group, all of us doing the different routines together not too long ago.
After some tear breaks during the homework I went for a short but much needed outdoor run. The run was hard too, people must have thought I was a crazy person because I would break down during my run, as I would think of our warm up run the first day together at La Salle Park.

I got back to the house to stretch on the steps leading to my front door. I broke down yet again because I ended up completing my mission for the day. It was very hard emotionally and even physically, my legs felt like jello during the run.
My hubby came out and saw me crying, I couldn't stop. He comforted me, I told him "I've only known Meredith for a short time but it's still hard to understand how this could have happened to someone so young and who had so much to give to others".

Meredith was an amazing and inspiring person who will hold a special place in all our hearts.
