Hooorah!!

While running on a local neighborhood road, I was passed by 2 guys...one in running attire, the other with a red USMC t-shirt, green sweatpants, and combat boots. It was great inspiration and motivation to keep me going. Thanks to all those who serve in the military so I can enjoy many freedoms including this 10 mile long run.

Running for someone else

Tim Borland plans to run 63 marathon in 63 consecutive days to help raises awareness and funds to support and coordinate research projects aimed at finding a cure or life-improving therapies for
ataxia-telangiectasia. His journey starts today in DisneyLand CA and finishes at the NY City Marathon in November. What and inspiration for a great cause. You can track his progress on his on the the road blog.

Ran to School...

...my alma mater SLU that is. Dan and I set out to run from our neighborhood located near West Port Plaza in West County to mid-town St. Louis. The total 16 mile trip took us 2 hrs 31 minutes on a beautiful Saturday morning. Notes of interest along the way included Clayton's Farmers market and Forest park. Overall it was a great long run.
