Let's run
Wow, I am quite a slacker. It has been a month since my last update. While I have been slacking in writing, I have not been slacking on training.
The Superhero’s 5K in 10 days away. After today, I will have 3 practice 5K under my belt. My times and endurance has been better for each one. Struggling with what superhero I should be for the race. Suggestions? Keep in mind, I am running in this costume.
One week after the 5K run, Mike and I will be participating in the “Bike the drive”. We will be riding the entire Lakeshore drive (North and South). Just in case you are wondering. This ride ends up being close to 30 miles total. Mike will be joining me on this ride. He will be riding after only about 3 hours of sleep. ( He will do anything for a donation. Lets show Mike a little love and donate. You can donate to CF for the event.
Mother’s day was a hard day for me this year. I was really missing Cory a lot this year. Amber and Casey are not close by, so selfishly I struggled. My answer: Run. I woke up that morning and joined group on the Gillman trail for a mother’s day run. I was nervous because I knew this group were far more experienced runner than I was. One member convinced me to step out of my comfort zone and go a little farther. So I ran 4 miles without stopping. I know for some people this is an easy task but it hasn’t been for me. It was a first. A few members of this group slowed their own pace and ran with me to help be accomplish this step. Thank you Kate and Bob.
I learned so much that day:
You cannot cry and run. It is impossible to breathe
Running groups are an amazing group of people-If its your 1st mile or 20th mile, they so supportive of each goal, PR, and accomplishment
Missing Cory does not bring him back, but I know that I am surrounding by so many people that love and support me. It truly holds my head above water some days
Our donations are up to almost 4500. We have received some generous donations from foundations, and family. Thank you! Let keep those donations rolling in. Pass along those flyers and spread the work. And remember if you want join me in any of the events, just let me know.
