Wow, 9 miles on Saturday...the weather was going to be hot, so we started our run at 7:30am. We ran along the Esplanade in Portland, it was the perfect temperature and a light breeze...then when we hit the other side of the river, the wind stopped, and it was just the blazing sun.
It's amazing how the time just goes when you are not looking at the watch. It was amazing when we got to our first stop to refuel, that we had already covered 4 miles. Although it takes me some time to run the distance, I still am quite amazed that I am doing this. I have a team that I run with, we are known as Team Molasses! None of us have really ever been known as runners, but we are taking on the challenge together.
We ran up a few hills yesterday, and somewhat "chugged" up, it was a slow process, but we knew that we got to come down at some point, so we just had to take it one step at a time.
Each and every step is another step closer to the end...I keep the people in mind who don't have the ability to walk or run, and thank God for the strentgh he has given me to take on this challenge.
The miles will continue to increase, and before I know it, October 5th will be here.
Thank you again for all the support, and please do let me know if there is someone you would like for me to add to my list of honorees or someone to run in memory of.
