The 5th week (of 20) of training for my Chicago marathon was a big disappointment for me. After a 6.5 mile run last Saturday I developed a sore calf muscle and had to lay off the running for the past 7 days; today it finally feels well enough to run again. I plan to resume my training schedule tomorrow. This Sunday a local St Louis radio station is featuring me and my daughter on their weekly health and fitness show. They will interview us on how we got involved with Team and Training and how the training has been going. Hopefully we can recruit some more "volunteers" to run the marathon.
Knowing that you all are supporting me is what keeps me getting out of bed each morning; this will definitely be one of the biggest challenges I've ever undertaken. I've learned a whole lot more about Leukemia and Lymphoma and how devastating these diseases are; its obvious that most of us take our health for granted and life's lottery sometimes strikes those who do not deserve it. Knowing that the money raised will help continue the search for a cure that will help keep young kids from an early death is also a big motivator for me.
I want to thank those of you who already donated to this worthy cause. If you'd like to make a donation and keep up with my progress please visit my web site - http://www.active.com/donate/tntgmo/SeeRayRun. I have a long way to go to meet my fund raising goal but just like the running its one day at a time
