This weekend I joined 11,000 other runners in the St Jude's Marathon/Half Marathon Weekend. The run raised millions (literally) of dollars for St Judes which is a research hospital for Children's Cancer. The course path toured all of downtown Memphis including the Mississippi river, zoo, bealle street, and the hospital itself. There were live bands every mile and thousands of thankful spectators and cancer patients/survivors.
I followed a 12 week online training program and somehow managed to make it from the couch to a half marathon in 12 weeks. I am thrilled that I ran almost the entire race, but am limping like an old lady now. I really felt like I couldn't make it even one step further! Obviously still have a long way to go before September, but will enjoy this small victory for now.
