Today was our first seven mile run. It actually wasn't too bad. We ran in Carmel and I was lucky enough to have the beautiful ocean as my view. Lucky duck I know! I ran just under two hours which is pretty darn good for someone who has never run a mile before in her life. ;-) When I was running with Colleen, my mentor, a lady asked us about our shirts. Colleen told her about the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the lady was so happy for us. She wished us luck which gave me even more energy to finish my last mile. Today we ran for Josh who is a 13 year old who has been in remission now for two years. He was diagnosed five years ago and he has been blessed to be where he is today. Thank God for Josh! I really hope more of you donate. It's a shame sometimes to know not everyone is very gunho in a sense about donating. I guess people don't really think about Leukemia or other blood cancers until they are affected personally. I am glad I decided to run and look forward to meeting more amazing individuals. I am trully blessed. Thank you God!!
