This is a picture of my friend Jen and I at the end of the race we finished this past weekend. The run was so much fun, but had a meaningful purpose. The race was to benefit a family who experienced a terrible experience. About two months ago a 19 year old girl was raped while going for a Sunday morning jog at 9am. It happened in a nice area and at a time you wouldn't think something like that would happen. Before we started the race two victims of abuse/rape spoke and inspired everyone to be cautious and aware of your surroundings when you run by yourself. I thought about the victim as I struggled through all of the hills and challenges the race brought. There was a huge turn out...I think over 1,000 ended up coming and supporting the cause. What a fantastic day!
