And so the heat and humidity continue to plague the city. But the running continues, it doesn't stop. I was hoping that one of these days someone would invent an air conditioned suit that i could put on when i went running outdoors....but alas, no. Saturday we had a group run. It was an shorted practice due to some other Team in Training events we had going on. We went for a 70 min run along the Hudson River. The 35 min we spent running downtown toward Battery park were fairly nice. There was a gentle breeze that kept us a little cool. However, on the way back, we were without wind, making the return trip very hot. I wasn't feeling so well on the way back, and took the attitude that slow and steady wins the race-that's what i did.
Needless to say, I am looking forward to some runs this week, as it seems as if the weather will have cooled down to the 80s. Lets keep our fingers crossed.
After practice, we had our "Connection to the Cause" event. This event is amazing and touching. It is where we have an organized reminder of why we are doing what we are doing, and why the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is so important to patients and their families. Several of our honored teammates-those who have or had a blood cancer- come and share their stories. To hear their triumphs and their tribulations; their highs and there lows. They keep alive the images of why I am again doing another marathon with TNT. On a sadder note, it was a reminder that not everyone had a happy ending as they have, not everyone gets to survive. And those are the ones i am running for most.
