Last day of the RAA from Russelville to Red Bay at the AL/MS State line. 5am start time got us one extra hour of sleep, but it took me about 5 miles to get warmed up enough that it wasn't too painful to run. After that I felt pretty good and ran at a good pace. We had a lot of family and friends join up with us today to run and support like the last few days. It made for an enjoyable run. Eric C, Eric S and I all crossed the line together. There was no place I would have rather been. It was very emotional. The kindness and generosity of people was very apparent throughout the whole run and I believe we did something good in raising awareness and funds to find a cure for Tay-Sachs. I fell blessed to be a part of the event. |
