JAM and Dan in Training: Gotta Run . . .

Gotta Run . . .

I am off for Phoenix today. Emotionally I keep swinging back and forth - first it's fear and dread, then it's nervous anticipation and excitement. Ugh.

I know my knee is not healed, but I will make the best of it anyway. Anita Nell has offered to run with me and help pace me. I am SO glad she will be there!!

So, keep me in your prayers on Sunday - race day. I will be getting back to Boise on Monday just before 5:00.

Thanks, my friends!

Julie, I have not heard from you, I will be down at the starting line area around 6am I will look for you where ever team in training is. I hope you will be keeping an eye out for me. If you get this feel free to call 208-866-7414. I am also in your corral, so if I don't find you before I will search out the corral. I will be wearing black capris w/red splice, a white tank top that says PULSE on the front. I also will have my fat picture on the back and have a pink bottle holder on.

Hugs, see you in the A.M.
I know God will help connect us up!

Julie! Julie! Julie!

How did it go? Was it fun? ("Fun" being a relative term, I suppose.)

Do you have pictures?

Will you be running again anytime soon?

Hillary :)

Hi Julie,

Can't wait to hear how it went; finish or not. I hope your knee held up. You are dearly loved. I'm so proud of you!!!

. . . saving lives one mile at a time.

In January 2008, I completed my first running event ever, a full marathon with Team in Training. It was my fantastic mom, Phyllis, who inspired me to run for the first time in my life. She lost her battle with leukemia in September of 2007, but she won the ultimate victory - an eternity in Heaven!

Now I am back for another event with Team in Training, once again to do my part to help fund research that will hopefully one day find a cure for leukemia. This time I'm training for a TRIATHLON along with my husband, Dan! If you read back over my blog, you will see that I was never a runner until I began training for a marathon. Well, this is no different. I've never been a swimmer - not even one pool length. So this will truly be a challenge for me!

I hope you will check back and read my blog often. I will continue to update this with our progress. Also, I hope you will visit our fundraising websites and join our team in the fight against leukemia and other blood cancers!

GO TEAM!!
