Today BIG 6

This morning the alarm clock went off at 5:30 am. I met up with my sweet friend Eliza to run at Terry Hershey Park. We completed 6.12 miles and it felt GREAT! I was amazed how easy it felt! I am on week 13 of my training and I have missed maybe 2 runs. During the week I run 30 mins three times a week and every Sat is my long run. I started at 2 miles and now I am at 6. I am always up for a good challenge and I am loving this one!
I had to commit to a $350 fund raising donation weather I raise that much or not. I am so excited to raise money for my charity and that feels better than any run could ever feel! This touches my heart so deeply. I will never forget the day I was told Lily Grace could have Down's. I will never forget that helpless feeling when I called my Dad needing someone to talk to. I was so clueless as to what we may face. So to be able to give to an organization who helps those who actually face having a child with Down's is very rewarding for me.
I am reaching out to family and friends to help me achieve my $350 goal. I also want to thank the people who have supported me..
