2728: My number at the Avenue of the Giants endurance event this past weekend! Yep, I ran my half-marathon and it was great. No problems at all. Kept a comfortable pace the whole time and finished strong. That was really my goal the whole time – to cross the finish line with a smile on my face. And I did it!
29: My age at the completion of this event. It was my goal to do something big like this before the big 3-0. And now, I don’t know why. Age really means nothing. From mile 6 to mile 10, I ran with a man in his late 60’s named Bob. For him, age was just a number – just another thing pushing him towards that finish line. Such an inspiring man! And the event was full of inspiring people. It wasn’t like the people running were all in tip-top shape or anything. Everyone was just out there to challenge themselves. Age, physical ability…these things were not limitations. They were circumstances to be aware of and nothing more.
30…: Who knows what 30 has in store for me? I know I’m not worried anymore. It’s just another milestone now. One I feel ready for.
Oh, and I have one more number for you:
Over $400,000: That’s the amount of money that our 212 members of Team in Training raised for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. That’s over $400,000 closer to finding a cure for blood cancers. And shortly after that…a cure for all cancers. That’s the thing about LLS, they aren’t afraid of saying the word “cure”. It’s not a fantasy; it’s what they’re working for. You can learn more about Team in Training and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on their website.
