In Support Of:

Dana-Farber's Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research

I'm running in memory of Ginny Blake and all those impacted by cancer, whether friend or family; survivors; those who received "benign" news, or just survived a scare!

Please join me running on the path to the Ultimate Finish Line: A world without cancer!

A lot of running

I am exhausted. Perhaps the 2 workouts on Friday before running 15 miles on Saturday took its toll.
I'm aching in several joints, knees, hip, back. 400mg/ibuprofen a couple times after (and a couple before the long run).

So the run this morning was a good, but lengthy experience. The group run was at the Longfellow Club in Wayland, MA, and again a good turnout. The wether couldn't have been better for a January run - low 20's, Sunny, zero wind. The course wound through several scenic roads behind the club. Gentle hills ensure that plenty ups and downs are just commonplace.

My pace was slower than I expected, but it very much felt like my body was setting its own pace so that's a good thing.

At the end, I met a guy who was running at about my pace. He said he wanted to run the marathon because he wasn't a runner, and therefore a challenge. He got interested in Dana-Farber when a former colleauge died of cancer, and participated in the Dana-Farber's Jimmy Fund Walk in support of a child with Leukemia.
Too tired, I have to go to bed and get some rest.
