Racing to Save Lives


Welcome to my Team In Training home page.


4 weeks to go


I am back on track and ready to finish strong. I have been to the podiatrist and he suggested some inserts and a lift for my right leg. Apparently my right leg is shorter then my left and it was causing me to run awkwardly. I have had 2 good weeks of running to work in my new shoes and supports. I ran 6 miles last week and 7 and a half yesterday. I will continue to add a mile over the next 3 weeks getting me to 10 miles prior to the race. Come race day I will have to gut out the last 3. This is where I will need to loose myself in thoughts of why I am doing this. For all of the people that have suffered through getting and fighting cancer. As hard as it seems to run this event, it has no comparison to some of the stories you hear of people and their fight for their lives.


I want to thank everyone that has donated to the cause and helped me reach my comittmnet goal. I now only have to think of my training, what a relief. If you still want to donate it is not to late. Just click on the link to the right and join the fight to end cancer once and for all.


Thanks


Blair

    "Please help Blair with this wonderful cause in honor of our Dad. My 14 old son has osteosarcoma (bone cancer). His chances of getting leukemia in the future are greater because of this cancer he has now. So please help this fight and help my son, so that he can have a full life without cancer. "
