Running for a Cause

Hey Girls,

So I signed up today to run a 10k race, to benefit Canine Companions for Independence! It is the biggest non-profit race in the nation btw. I'm doing really well on fundraising and I'm hoping to double my goal. I've got to be honest, I've been a little MIA from the running craze. I haven't been on a run since I ran with Mir. OVER a month ago. I know it's bad, but school has just been so insane and I was sick, etc etc... no more excuses!

So I went out running today to see if I could force myself to get 10k done (6.2 miles). I did it! I totally though I was going to die about halfway through all the way till the end. it was sooooo hot today and I felt like such a slug. I ran in the most beautiful place though which is definitely what kept me going- and thinking about running for CCI, and in Jessica's honor. I have all the donations being done in her memory.

At one point I was running so slow I looked like one of those middle aged women who run so slowly with weights attached to their ankles, and barely pick their feet up off the ground. You know how the look like they are running in slow motion?? Well that is what I looked like! I probably could have power walked faster than I was running!

The point is though that I did it, and I can do it, and I WILL do it on SATURDAY! WOOP WOOP.

Here is a photographic journey of my run, Enjoy!
