Race 120 - Birmingham, AL - 40th State!
I will have to wait one more year before running in Alabama. My knee has reached a point where I can no longer run without pain. I will be missing this race as I make plans for potential surgery. The doctors I have seen so far feels it is a meniscus tear that can only be repaired with arthroscopic surgery. I don't like the idea of knee surgery, but would like to be able to run again asap! I will update as thing progress.
Race 119 - Orlando, Florida
Running my fourth race in 21 days with pain in my right knee, I finally had to take it easy. However it was anything but easy. I jogged, limped, and walked my way to the finish line at the Disney World Animal Park. It was a typical warm humid day in Orlando, but with over 4,000 participants running to fight breast cancer it was an awesome morning. I hope the knee will be strong enough to do Birmingham next weekend.
Race 118- Baltimore, Maryland --- 39 Down, 11 to go!
Baltimore is a race I have been tying to get to for the last five years! Well, I can finally take Maryland off the list of "states I have not run in!" Now we only have 11 states on the list. The race was held in the inner harbor and it was a gorgeous fall morning! Pink Ribbon Runners came from all over Baltimore with the Office Max team, and my good friends Kelly and Linda came from Virginia! 20,000 participants were there to make a difference in Maryland! My knee held up fine for the first two miles, but the third mile was quite challenging. I think next week I'll need to rest so I can run in Florida.
Race 117 - San Francisco, CA
Thanks Pink Ribbon Running Club/OfficeMax - San Francisco in October is just the best! 30 Pink Ribbon Runners registered to run with me, and I appreciate all those that came out in support of the cause!! The race began and finished on Crissy Field, making a loop past Fort Baker at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, along the edge of the Bay, then returning to the start. The weather was perfect, and we all enjoyed plenty of goodies. Thanks again to Patty and Ginny for all their support! The knee felt okay during the race, but was pretty stiff afterward.
Race 116 - Scranton, PA
I spoke in Hazelton, PA at the Office Max location to 200 associates, educating them on breast cancer and sharing my personal story. There was a wild land fire on the hill behind my hotel the night I arrived, but luckily we did not have to be evacuated! As I sat and watched the events unfold on the TV, I could see my hotel in the picture, but it must have been farther away that it looked, hurray!
Sixteen Pink Ribbon Runners were at the race and we all enjoyed a warm, humid race on a great rolling hills course. My knee was starting to bother me, but not enough to slow me down too muc
Race 115 - Cheyenne, WY
My trip began with a stop in Casper, WY at the Office Max call center. I was able to give my breast cancer education presentation to 300 associates throughout the day. It was a wonderful marathon, well worth the effort to get to Casper on a small little plane!
Cheyenne was a gorgeous morning, with the race being held again at the state capital. The participants set a record number and a good time was had by all. The altitude did not help me much, but I love the down to earth people and atmosphere in Cheyenne. It was also an exciting day when I saw our Running Ribbon Pin© on sale for the first time at a race!! They sold out within 30 minutes of selling!! Hopefully they will order more next year!
Race 114 - Lethbridge, Alberta Canada
The Ladies Fest 8K, benefiting the Chinook Health Region Breast Health Program. There were 900 women in this race and it was an awesome event. Ron from Runners Soul did a fabulous job organizing the event and the flowers, chocolates and brunch at the end were first class all the way!! I spoke at the brunch which was an honor and I am thankful for that opportunity! We brought the kids with us for a family vacation and it was one of our best. We visited the Canadian Rockies, Calgary's Olympic Park, Banff, Lake Louise and explored southern Alberta. Many thanks to Jan and family for a wonderful Sunday at the amusement park!!
Race 113 - Washington, DC
This was my fifth running of the National RFTC! I brought my son Ryan with me to do the tourist thing the before the race. It rained the two days prior to the race, but we forged ahead and used our umbrellas or just got soaked! The duck tour was the best! This year's race had approx. 60,000 participants, down from previous years, but it is always a great time! The course was different this year, and consequently the stage was moved from the Washington Monument to the end of the National Mall, just in front of the Capital. It was an amazing backdrop! The rain held off and the humidity wasn't to awful, I ran a good race and won the survivor division! My friend Kelly came in from Virginia to participate with us, then we headed back to her house for the night before going home.
Race 112- Helena, MT
For someone who travel all the time, this was a trip that I wanted to kiss the ground when I finally landed!! Those little planes, descending through the clouds as you are going over the mountains, was almost too much! We made it safely to the ground (thank God) and the man next to me who lived in Helena, was not fazed and said it is often like that when coming into town. Luckily the flight home was smooth!!
The race was through the downtown streets of Helena and a bit on the hilly side. Nothing to bad, but at 4,000 ft. I could feel it. The committee in charge was absolutely wonderful, and they had a big spread on the front page of the local paper about my mission. The race began with a Chinook helicopter flying overhead draping a huge American flag while the national anthem played, it was awesome! I would love to go back there with my family, as long as we drive!
Race 111- Chicago, IL
This race was for the Y-Me organization based in Chicago, IL. Y-Me does phone counseling for breast cancer patients all over the country. The callers talk with other breast cancer survivors who can give them reference information, support, friendship and a good listening ear. Y-Me volunteers speak 30 different languages and can be a tremendous support in a time of need. The course wound through the streets of downtown Chicago, and I was overtaken by the beauty and size of the buildings. What a great place to run. Many thanks to Ralph and Gloria Alvarez and the McDonald's team that I was part of for this event!
Race 110 - Los Angeles County, CA
The rain-soaked streets of Pasadena were dry on Feb. 27 for this new race date for LA Race for the Cure. It was moved from Nov. to Feb., because the weather is generally dry and warm at that time of year. But, this year has had record rainfall in Southern California! The aqueduct in the Rose Bowl parking lot was flowing like mad, but the sky was blue! 11,000 people participated in the race, on a course that surrounds the Rose Bowl and adjoining golf course. My mother-in-law Eunetta and sister-in-law Teri joined Zach and I for the day to support the cause. It is always great to have family and friends at the races!
Race 109 - West Palm Beach, FL
It was a beautiful weekend in Palm Beach! South Florida is always a nice place to go in the middle of January when it is rainy and cold in Northern California. The race had it's largest turn out ever at 12,000 people! The Donald (Trump) got married that weekend, but none of the celebrities made it out to the race. We didn't miss them though as the people present had plenty of enthusiasm. South Florida always puts on a nice race along the waterfront promenade and I was fortunate to see several snowbird friends that come out to do the race each year. We look forward to catching up and making sure everyone is healthy!
Races: 104, 105, 106, 107 and 108
They came and went in a blink of an eye. I guess that's what happens when you run 5 races in 5 states in 28 days. Judy ran pretty well winning the survivors division in all 5 races. Next stop, New York City for the NYC Marathon. NO Judy is not running. We are going to pick up an award from Runners World Magazine. Look for the December issue. Judy is on page 58 She was named one of 8 most inspiring runners for 2004. The people selected are truly amazing.
102and 103 Lexington KY, Boston and Jimmy Buffet @ Fenway Park
I do not know how she gets so lucky. She and her friend Robin Swartz went together on a 5 day trip back East. Judy spoke in Louisville, KY and then went to Churchill Downs and through the horse country of Kentucky. They told me the stables were nicer then most homes. I told them the "occupants" that live in them, make more money then we do!
After running on Saturday in Kentucky they flew to Boston for the Race For The Cure on Sunday. Judy ran and did well. They got to talking to one of the people at the race about what was going on that evening. They found out Jimmy Buffet was playing at Fenway Park that night, so being the parrot-heads they are, they just had to go experience the concert at the "green monster".
101 Buffalo in June. Not Bad
Judy took Kyle to Buffalo New York for race 101. She told me it was a little of a letdown from race 100. The Today Show was going to do the piece they taped during race 100 and she was all set to go to New York City and see Ann, Katie and Matt. However President Reagan Died that week and the show that would have aired on Friday was cut do to the funeral of the X-President. We were going to do the Oprah show back in 2000 but a guy named Bush took our spot. I guess Presidents have more pull then running teachers from Placerville!
What a Day! RACE 100 WAS THE BEST EVER.
I would like to say THANK YOU to all of my family and friends for your support of me, Tod, Kyle, Ryan and Zachary over the past six years!! It has been a wonderful adventure and the most satisfying thing I have ever done! But, it would never have been possible without all the love, friendship, kindness and sacrifice of so many of you! Your willingness to baby sit, haul kids to practices and games, provide meals when we needed them, and keep us in your prayers, has been invaluable! We are all effected in one way or another by breast cancer and you are all doing a part in the fight against this disease. I am the one out there traveling and pounding the pavement, but you are all the backbone that I need in order to keep going. So, as I look forward to running in all 50 states, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
