Practice 2 and 3

I would first like to thank all of you who have made a donation, you rock!

My second practice I missed because of work. I was stuck in Indiana on a military base. I was working long hours which made it really difficult to find time to run. It was also 20 degree and I was not acclimated to running at that temperature. It didn't snow while I was there so I have no fun running in the snow story, sorry.

My third practice was on Saturday (2/21). It was a beautiful morning and the team was meeting behind the Jack in the Box on PCH at Warner. Linda and Derek pick me up around 6:30AM from Alyssa's house (she lives in Long Beach). We made it in time to hear the morning announcements. We decided to run in the top group. They now split our team into 5 groups. There were only 4 runners in our group and an instructor. We ran for an hour and went a little over 6 miles. On our way back you could see the Jack in the box sign... I never felt happier to see a Jack in the box in my life.

I received a band to wear while I run with the names of loved ones who have lived or died from blood cancer. If you would like, I would be honored to wear any of your loved ones names. Please send them to me so that I can add them to my band. Thank you for your support.
