Finally, did a long one today. I was in the company of wonderful women while we ran, walked, jogged for 13 full miles. Finally, when I arrived home, my husband and our dog Suki, were waiting for me. I laid down on the front lawn, and I just took a breath. I arrived at my destination. I took this picture to show the beauty of this arrival. The changing colors of the leaves. For some reason, I often get an error message on my iphone, "nothing do undo" which reminds me that everything is as it should be.
As you know, I'm training to run the Hampton's Half-Marathon on October 2010, as a member of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team-in-Training. I am raising funds to help stop blood cancers from taking more lives. Along with my own family, I've met many people who have battled these cancers. I know that my participation in Team-in-Training brings them all hope.
I'm completing this event in honor of ALL those battling blood cancers but especially my niece, Melissa del Rosario. Melissa my 21 year old grand-niece, a student at the college of Mount Saint Vincent. She was diagnosed with Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in January 2010. To battle this, we need everyone's support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!
