I am inspired.........by so many people and challenges and opportunities! I am inspired by my family and friends who have decided to support my LLS-TNT event - THANK YOU ALL....we have met our fund-raising goal and I promise you I'll keep my end of the bargain!!!! I am inspired by our local LLS-TNTers who had their "long-run" Saturday getting ready for their event in March - the Princess Run at Disney.........they allowed me to cheer them at a water spot and have coffee with them after we finshed running.....and my-o-my.....was it a cold beautiful morning-----they and their coach, Teri, and their coordinator, Messina, inspire me! I am inspired by my new VTNT mentor, Jen - she lives over in The Villages and this in her 10th year with LLS! She called me Saturday to "check in" and be sure I'm doing o.k. - inspiring indeed!!!!
and thanks to Coach Joe...for keeping me inspired to RUN.........Saturday (2/13/10) was the first day of week 3.....the "long run" of the week......I manned the water stop for the Princess Team.....they all got by me by about 5:45am..........so-----off I went.....south from Royal Palm Pointe/IR Boulevard to and across the 17th Street Bridge, to A1A (north), to Riverside Park and over the Barber Bridge, around Royal Palm Pointe and to the car! what a way to start the day!!!! I cannot remember the temp---but I think about 40 degrees with wind gusts up to 15-20mph......
Kelly! You are truly amazing! Thank you for cheering at a water stop for us and braving the COLD and WINDY conditions. And thank you for all that you do for LLS & TNT. Your support makes a huge impact on the lives of patients and their families. For this I thank you. Please come out and run with the Princess team for the next 3 weeks, I will continue to email you our training info.

Thank you Kelly for being such a brave soul on saturday morning - it was bitterly cold yet you still got out of bed for us! We hope you do come out and run with the Princess team over the next 3 weeks and if you're ever looking for someone to run with any other time please don't hesitate to call me.
ReplyDeleteKelly, thanks for including me in your blog. We have not met yet, but I already know you are a truly wonderful person! With awesome family support and great friends, "don't get much better than that"!
ReplyDeleteKelly, What can I say besides that you are an AWESOME person!!!
