Ever since my celiac diagnosis last August, I have been planning a comeback race. After feeling weak and tired for so long, I couldn’t wait to start training for an event.

It’s kind of exciting, the thrill of the hunt. I even snuck away to Goodwill the other day while my entire family was napping. I found a wooden letter “B” for 69 cents and a hideous wall…
