We just completed week #6 of training and we're up to running 6+ miles. I don't think I've ever run more than a 5K in my life and it actually felt great to complete 6 miles. I'm almost half way there to completing my half marathon!

I also wanted to provide everyone an update on my friend, Beatriz. Her recent test scan results show that her body is responding well to the treatments and her lymph nodes are shrinking considerably. She still comes out to run with me every Saturday and I do my best to keep up with her, for about the first 2 minutes, ha, ha!!!. Please continue to keep Beatriz in your thoughts and prayers.

Currently, I’m at 75% of my fundraising goal and I’ve raised $2,182.34. There's also still time to make a donation to help Beatriz and others that have a blood cancer. The donations to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society help find cures and fund research development.

To make a donation, please visit my fundraising page at http://pages.teamintraining.org/md/rnr12/klivay.

Thank you,
