This is in response to a question by PattyJ -

The race is 3 November, thanks for asking! You can see more info and/or donate @ www.leoruntoremember.org

It's a charity race to benefit the Alzheimer's Association, Mississippi LIONS Sight Foundation & two other local charities. There are no paid staffers, it's being organized and worked by my DH, the LEO club (a bunch of kids), & volunteers. I'll be running the 1/2 marathon, which is 13.1 miles.

Tory, good Luck, I know you will finish. That would be a very cool race in Wis., but it will be warmer by you, right?? Sounds like a great charity. Pat

We never know about November, it could be sunny in the 80s or it could be freezing rain in the 20s, just have to wait & see, lol. Most likely it'll be cool nights & warm days. Runnings easiest for me when it's a little cooler, around the 60s. I don't have any cold weather gear other than a hoodie & a pair of sweats so hopefully it won't be freezing!

I know we aren't at retreat anymore but is it ok to still encourage you to do your running???

PLEASE DO!! It's so much easier to talk myself into running when other people expect it from me, lol. Thanks!

You go girl! Hope you beat your best time.

I am absolutely guaranteed to do that, KYIS, 'cuz I've never run 13 miles before, lol.

So far I'm running about a 15 minute mile on the long runs, slightly faster than laying on the couch, lol.
