It was an early run, which might be a good thing because it wasn't hot-yet. I had to get up at 6:00 a.m. to meet up with my sister and Melissa to head to the starting point.
It was Sunday, September 13, 2009 and this was the second time I've done the run to help raise money for a couple good causes. It's the
Pints to Pasta. The bad thing was I wasn't prepared. I hadn't run for a loooooooooooong time. Luckily I made it to the finish. Of course it was only a 10K run or 6.2 miles. But. . . there's always next year.
I am going to be so much more prepared for this run, next time. No. REALLY.
The run helps raise money for
The Raphael House of Portland and
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's TEAM IN TRAINING. A huge thanks is owed to the sponsors:
Adidas,
Widmer,
The Old Spaghetti Factory,
Jamba Juice and
Portland Running Company for making this event happen.
