Stomping Out Cancer

Last Saturday I ran in the 3rd Annual 'Stomp Out Cancer 5K' here in Roseau. I took 3rd place in my age category with a blazing fast time of 31:18. Congratulations to Weston Nelson, the overall winner, who ran almost twice as fast. Hopefully, with some weight loss and a lot more training, I can get my time down under 30 minutes at the next 5K.

I am greatly encouraged and grateful for the great response so far. We're already up to $760 pledged!

I have run a little over a quarter of the miles now. This last week was tough with the sun beating down pretty good.

Second Annual 'Running Every Street' Fund Raiser

Things are a little different this year... Last year I was able to begin running in April and I had finished running every street in Roseau by about this time. This year due to the late spring and aches and pains I wasn't sure if I would be doing it again. But now the weather's warm and the aches and pains are almost gone. So, let's do it again!

Please read the info on the right side of this page. Again, donations will be going to Living Hope. If you're not familiar with Living Hope, please click on the link and learn about this great ministry in Northeast Minneapolis.

You'll see I started 'running every street' a few days ago. I'm going to try to gradually increase my distance every time until I get up to 4 miles each time. I need to lose some weight too, so I'll be posting that once a week.

Thanks to everyone who donated last year. Thanks to everyone who will donate this year. Please come back often and watch my progress.
