Fourth of July weekend I ran on my own as I was in Gig Harbor. I was supposed to run 10 miles, however the route I chose, I only ran 6 miles, but the majority of it were on hills. My calves were sore when I got back to my mom's, and it was hot!
This past Saturday I ran for 70 minutes, and it was about 78 degrees. We ran for time instead of distance.
Then the last few feet to the end, we were cheered in by the team...it was really emotional to see all the team honorees who had their stories of blood born cancers lined along the path.
We listened to stories of those who have survived or a loved one has survived, and they gave many thanks to the LLS for the education and funds given while fighting the cancer. It was really touching to hear one woman's story of her son who was diagnosed with Lyphoma 15 years ago, and that he is still alive today because of the improved research over the years through LLS.
Saturday was another day to remind me, how important it is for me to improve my health by running, and work hard to raise money for those who are in need of the funds that LLS can provide.
I am only 2 months and 2 weeks away from the big day. Every day counts, and all of your support does too!
It would be great if you could sponsor me on this adventure, even if it's only a few dollars! Every penny counts...really!
