Emily is training for her first half marathon!!
I am really going to rock Cystic Fibrosis on June 1 when I will run my first 1/2 marathon. (That’s 13.1 miles for you non runners out there). As you know the Rock CF Foundation and I are big advocates of exercise for both CF patients and the general public. Now I’ve done a few 5k and 10k’s but I really want to challenge myself this time. Tuesday night I completed an 8 miler and felt really great after it.
Since the ole’ gall bladder removal April 2 I was told to “ease” back into running three weeks after surgery. Well I talked my doc into letting run after two weeks and thought who’s definition of “ease” should I use? I used mine!
The 1/2 that I’m running is the Dexter-Ann Arbor which I hear is a great course. In September I am running the Chicago 1/2 and then the Detroit 1/2 in October!
I’ll be raising money for the Rock CF Foundation during all of these races. If you are interested in donating you can do so at the DONATIONS link on the left.
Also the tentative dates for the Detroit to Chicago “City to City Ride 08″ are August 2-6. There will be 4-5 of us riding. The first leg from Detroit to Saline may be open to the general public. Please stay tuned to see if you may want to peddle with us!
Rock CF,
Emily
