London's Run

Saturday randy and I participated in London's Run. Randy ran his first half-marathon and I ran my first 10K .This run is in honor of a little girl named London who died of cancer. It was so sad & special to be there & see her sweet pictures. Throughout the running course they would have pictures of her posted and a caption underneath it. One that stuck with me is "Running is hard, but Cancer is harder." When I saw this sign I was at a point of my run were it was really tough. Besides physical, a big part of running is mental. When I read the words that cancer is hard, I all of a sudden thought you are right.....running is easier and i kept going. this is just one example of the signs and pictures. Before the race started they had an opening prayer, national anthem, a special musical number and London's mom talked about London and her family and other children that are struggling with child illnesses. Let's just say I was a MESS! I had tears running all down my face, etc. I thought I am in NO position to be running a race, but somehow I survived and did great. Every year they have this run & donate ALL the proceeds to a family going through this ordeal. It was so neat to be a part of such a great thing and I can't wait until next year!

I have to brag about randy.....He started running last April...he did a program called "couch potato to 5K" and after about 3 months he could run 3 miles. Well in November he did his first 10K (the turkey trot) and now two months later he does his first 1/2 marathon. He is a machine....he loves it and he has found a love for running! I would of never thought in a million years him and I would love running.......Good Job Babe..keep up the great work!
