After my near death experience almost 7 years ago, was a time when I wasn’t sure if I would walk with strength again, never mind run.

Thank You, Hashem. I have been healthy, well, and strong in mind, body, and spirit for many years since. Thank goodness, I have walked many steps and miles, figuratively and literally. I have lifted weights, swam, danced, and moved my body. BH!

I have never taken up running again, though. I just never restarted.

Tonight, for the first time in 7 years, after walking every day, I ran again! Alongside the beach, with the wind blowing in my hair. Thank you, Hashem.

I am a runner again! It has been a dream in my heart for so long.

Words cannot describe the gratitude that I have to Hashem for the power of healing and of grace.

For a body that is very much alive, for miracles, for strength. For the power of Emunah.

Tonight was the first night I ran again.

Thank you, Hashem!

And the true miracle was never the result,

It was always the faith, and the relationship that faith had me cultivate.

The miracle is always the Faith.
