OK. I’ll admit it.

I’ve cried while running.

More than once.

And let me just say, it’s even harder to run while crying than it is to just run. So about 10 minutes into a really great run this morning, I had to walk because I was crying my face off about this story. The holidays make me even more emotional than I already am. This is why I should probably run outside and not on the treadmill. There aren’t special holiday stories playing on Good Morning America on the gym televisions.

I can’t embed the video, so you’ll have to click the link to watch it. Please don’t watch it while running.
