What a recovery! David now thinks he is invincible and has taken up the sport of running. Running is something David never thought he would be able to do since his top vertebrae was trimmed to allow the cerebellum extra space, but after watching his family team run the Wasatch Back Ragnar relay in 2011, he decided it looked fun enough he had to try.
David began running in July of 2011 and after a few months learned it was something he enjoyed! He ran the Rockwell mud run as his very first race and then quickly signed the family up for the Las Vegas Ragnar relay. We had a great mix of family with our kids and his brothers and sisters. Who knew running could be so fun!
David's goal of running a half marathon was realized in March of 2012 when he ran the Canyonlands half marathon with his sister and her husband. His next big race is in April when he tackles the Salt Lake City Marathon.
When you ask David why he likes to run so much, his answer is simply, "Because I can." He is grateful every day that the doctors took such good care of him and that he is still able to do hard things...even things he never dreamed he could do!
