And with it, the Woodbury Country Mile Half-Marathon! Thanks to all of you who have given so generously to my fundraising efforts! Your kindness and generosity are appreciated much more than words can express. With every step I run, I am reminded of all of you and all of the reasons I'm doing this - each of us are making a difference in the lives of blood cancer patients!
The training runs haven't been as long as I would like them to be prior to a half. I'm not too bothered by that as I'm actually doing this one to support one of my Titus2 girls who is going to be running her first half this weekend. Setting a personal record is not a goal for this race. Encouraging Cara and ensuring that she finishes with the best possible experience possible is the goal.
I keep coming back to the importance of having a support system, don't I? I'm supporting Cara in her efforts to run a good race while you support me in my efforts to race money for cancer research. Somewhere out there, there are doctors, nurses, oncologists, whole teams of people working to support blood cancer patients and their families. It becomes a circle of sorts.
And so I run.
