Hello all! I have had an amazing week in the run-up to Boston. I had a great 10 mile training run on Sunday, a good follow up 5 miler last night and am still feeling great! Boston will be such a great experience, and I can not thank you enough for your support and kindness. Every time that I look at the names on the mile-by-mile honoree list, I am amazed at the opportunity that I have to run in someones honor. It will make the whole experience amazing!

Many times when I run, I listen to music along the way. There have been a number of runs when the song "Livestrong" by Wide Awake has popped up and it really makes me think about the losses people have suffered and the need to help find a cure for cancer as soon as possible. Here is the video that was done using this song:

So many images of sorrow and loss...it is time to change that! To those who have already made a donation to my goal of raising $4000.00, thank you! You are awesome! To date, I have raised $1033.10 with another $500.00 pledged! Absolutely amazing! I can not thank you enough, and that was in just over 10 days! Please share this blog with your friends and co-workers, and see if they will, as well, join you in the efforts to defeat cancer!
Thank you, and happy running!
Hugh
