5 Miles Easy... or Perhaps a Bit Challenging

News in running is rather uneventful.... 5 miles easy was...well...EASY.  However, I grin ear to ear when I remember how not even a year ago 1 mile was insurmountable.... Yay Progress and Perseverance!  News in life.... not so easy.  Honestly nothing awful happened to me but I got some more or less devastating news about a friend's loss.  My heart is with him.  Again, though, I am impressed by the strength of the awesome people that surround me.  By him, for doing what he has to do and by others as they reach out.  My heart was also warmed by the increased sense of civility at work and by the amazing progress I have watched a few, one in particular calls out to me today, over the past couple years.  The roads behind and ahead of us may not always be easy, but I find success amidst a struggle incredible impressive.  Hats off and huge hugs to all of those in my life not FIGHTING and uphill battle but making peace with it.  To you I bow!

Speaking of hats off (again, I haven't even been accepted yet I am just in the application process which makes this support even more heart warming!;), I would like to thank a few friends who have reached out and offered to help me with my Dana Farber Fundraising:

-Jeff Giberti - you can find Jeff's teaching, subbing, adjusting, and all around awesome talents at South Boston Yoga (www.southbostonyoga.net) and B Yoga Center (www.byogacenter.com)

-Sarah Kearns Sarah's EVERYWHERE!  Check out her schedule at www.yogatosmile.com (Is that not the coolest website name EVER!  Love it!!!)

-Keith Deveau www.featherswellnessstudio.com , www.southshorewellnessmassage.com
Kick butt massage, yoga, psychic events.... the list goes on!

Sarah and Jeff both offered to teach benefit yoga classes and Keith offered to donate his magic hands for chair massage-a-thon at Feathers!  Thanks so much guys.  I hope I make it on the team but no matter what the support is like a giant hug!  :)
