Return To Running: Week Eleven

Week eleven was one of utter heartbreak. I lost a family member to cancer early Tuesday morning. The week consisted of emergency travel on Monday for what turned out to be quiet and unexpected goodbyes; and the aftermath of learning to cope with acute loss. Though exhausted, I ran to clear my head.
