This is the day for my long run - 6 miles this morning at 6am with Wendy. I text her before we left, it was a light rain and wanted to confirm he willingness to go. She left it to me, so since I was already dresses, we went. Good run despite the harsh wind and rain that picked up mid-run. We ran down Cherry Hill and through the country to Gotfredson and Geddes, back up Ridge. Wendy had her garden clippers and we took out a substainal amount of Lilacs at the end of the run. They grow like weeds out here and smell so good. Of course it reminds me of my Grandma Collins. She had a few large old lilac bushes at her house.
So, i thought I had started this blog last week, but couldn't find ti - so apparently it never saved. Hope it does this time. Long story short - i will expand later, this blog is to track my training for the Aug 14th half marathon I am running in Chicago on the American Cancer Society's Determination team. I am running in honor of Linda Rice, my Mom's best friend who dies 10 years ago this fall. She was a wonderful person and a really important person for my Mom (and ourfamily). As I get older, the value of a true friend has become priceless.
So, stay tuned. I will post more as the weeks between now and August pass. My official training starts June 6th. Until then, I will be running and running and ....
Julie
