Here we come Philly! Team McGraw will be running through the City of Brotherly Love on Sunday, Sept 21, 2008. I'm really looking forward to it!

 

I had a great run yesterday! I completed 15 miles and was very happy with my run!

 

When I was running on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday I was thinking about the all the people that are affected by this disease. Here are some of my thoughts:

 

I hope that David always is stable and the tumor does not grow

Happy Anniversary to Jen McDevitt - she's a 5 year GBM survivor! F I G H T Fight Jenny Fight!

I hope that MaryBeth can get outside today becuase it's so beautiful. I also hope that she has the strength to get a little walk in and build up her strength.

I hope that Craig has a great runs this week and that he can get in a couple of extra miles. I hope that his legs heals well.

I hope that Greg is always stable

I know that Lazaro is with watching over Tania and that she feels his prescence and finds peace

I wish Rupert peace and comfort

I hope that Elana and her family have comfort

I pray that Chris is able to stay strong

I pray that Bo has a great anniversary trip in October

I pray that Phil will continue his fight

I hope that Debbie has peace and comfort

I hope that Mona and Matt stay well

I hope that Burt and Nancy have strength

I hope that Steve and Uncle Steve continue to get check ups

Run Jimmy Run!

Run Tommy Run!

 

 

 

On Sunday, it was my daughter's birthday and I was hoping that she was going to have a great day. Happy Birthday Sarah!

 

 

I hope that with every step I take that I make it better for someone else!

 

 

Have a great day and I hope to see you all in Philly!

Towards the end of my run today i was really thinking about the Chicago Marathon in 14 days.  How would i do?  Am i ready? How much will it hurt?  But before i knew it i was focused on the rest of Team McGraw.  How was everyone's training?  Is everyone training smart?  Are they raising lots of money?  As my legs began to get heavy i drew inspiration from the heroes that we run to honor.  When i think of how hard some of their days can be i quit whining about my sore foot.

Hi Kevin,

 

I couldn't agree more!  When my legs start to hurt, I think about all they have to endure and it gives me strength to keep going.  On those long runs, it's easy to say, my legs hurt, to whine, etc. and before you know it, you've talked yourself out of running!  When my feet/legs hurt, I immediately start to think of the people that we run for and it gives me the strenght to keep on running.  There's this one gentelman last year in our support group who had 96 hours of chemo. I kept thinking that if Henry can deal with 96 hours (4 days) chemo straight, then I could run for 4 hours.  It still gets me through.  Henry still comes to the meetings!  The heros that we run for are amazing.
