I woke up at 7am and was greeted by a chill in the air. I put on my new running clothes and out the door I went to meet the team at Marymoor Park for our coached run. Of course I was running a few minutes late, had a fight with a sharp corner on the back of my leg (I showed that keyboard shelf who was boss as I shoved it with all my might back into the desk... needless to say, I broke it).
Finally, out the door get to the park and join the group for announements. Today was the first time someone had spoken about their experience with Leukemia and it brought tears to my eyes. This woman told us about her son who was diagnosed when he was three years old, survived 38 months of chemotherapy (not consecutively) and then had a stroke at age 5. No child should have to endure one of these things let alone all of them! Thankfully, her son is a survivor who is 24 years old and a deep sea diver. That story gave me purpose for training for Lava Man and raising funds.
Then we hit the trail, it was 32 degrees when we started our run a little after 8am. I'm proud to say I ran for 45 minutes consistantly! Yay ME!!!
Since I'm new to this whole deal I asked my two team mentors to review my purchases the day before. Guess what... I returned both pairs of cycling gloves and a pair shorts.
Tomorrow I'm off to LA for a week so my workouts are all on me!
Stayed tune for LA adventures....
