I have a friend who is a bit insane. I say that because she runs many many miles just for fun. She isn’t trying to chase down a cat that got out the door or chase down a nice ice cream cone or something, she just runs to run and to help other people. She is a marathon, or more accurately, a half-marathon runner (that’s 13.1 miles).
She ran in the Rock and Roll Arizona Half-Marathon this last January, the first marathon she ever ran in and now she just signed up to run in the Rock And Roll San Antonio Half-Marathon. To get an idea of how much running this is… She goes through a pair of running shoes just for training, by the end of training the shoes are destroyed and she has to buy new ones for the actual marathon. The shoes she buys are a size larger than she wears because her feet swell up a whole size during the running. That’s just cuckoo in my opinion but obviously opinions vary and I applaud her tenacity and willingness to help.
She does all of this running this for a group called “Team In Training” which is a charitable organization that raises money to support “The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society”.
If you have the inclination and ability, I do encourage you to help her with her cause. You can get more info at her web page: 331
