that i had it in me to run 8 straight miles! it’s the most i’ve ever ran in my life and the miles will increase each week for my leukemia/lymphoma marathon training. here’s my 1st update on my training since many of you are asking:
let me tell yah, it feels amazing after a long run! from a sedentary person to now with endurance, strong will, and sweat…feels like a champ! of course, there’s ankle pain, soreness in the legs, sacrificing the friday parties to wake up early at 6am on saturdays for the long run..but it’s for you, for me, esp for all the people who affected by this blood cancer.
since i started training in the beg. of august, i know 2 people who passed away from Leukemia or Lymphoma. 1) My best friend’s co-worker 2) The son of my mom’s friend (who passed away yesterday after 6 months of being diagnosed). so i know that THIS is the right time, this is the RIGHT THING TO DO.
3 more months until i run my marathon in honolulu! i’ll be sending you periodic updates of the sweat & hardwork of my progress and where your donation is going. and for those who haven’t donated yet but would like to share this journey with me, please support me here:
Congrats! That’s quite an accomplishment.
GOD be with you vanae !!!! I didn’t know that T.T
Wow, that sounds great!
Your such a self-sacrificing person to want to help so many ppl.
What’s your mile time looking like?
Good luck with the training! Running’s always fun when you do it in teams.
I’ve met, read about & lived with individuals who’ve dealt with cancer…those experiences have taught me to stop bitching about life & to rather enjoy it.
Hey Vanae,
Keep it up, and kudos to you for doing this with a special purpose in mind.
You have my support
thanks for all the support guys!
