On the website for the
race I ran on Saturday, it said,
"Think winter running is hard, try battling cancer."
That puts things in perspective. Last week we had some sub-freezing temperatures, so I had thought about the weather and wondered if I would survive this race. I don't typically run outside so I resolved to simply finish and walk if I must. But Saturday was in the 40's and sunny so the race turned out really nice. The course was mostly flat, I ran right past my brother-in-law who was directing traffic on Mass. Ave., and I came in 25th in my age group. Surprise. I did pretty well. I had both motivation and determination because of my mom, and because I actually ran to music for the first time. (I got an iPod for Christmas, thanks to Brian!)
27:02 was my time.
I love you, Mom! Keep fighting.
