When news of the cancellation of my goal marathon race was quickly followed by news of the cancellation of all commencement exercises for my graduate school program, I decided to run my own virtual marathon the weekend that I should have been graduating...a long gratitude run! I plan to dedicate each mile to a person who has helped me get where I am and to invite friends to jump in for parts of my run (while staying six feet away). In these final weeks of grad school, I am staying active by training for a virtual marathon that will be a celebration of where I am in life, who I am, and who has "run" with me along the way.
