500 miles and running

The alarm went off at 6am this morning (Saturday) and by 6:20am I had taken the dog out and was out the door on the way to putting over 500 miles on my running shoes. The morning's run wasn't anything special, just over 4 miles, but a milestone was accomplished nonetheless.

This is the first time I have put anywhere close to 500 miles on a pair of shoes. The 500 mile mark was also reached in record time (for me at least): It took me less than 13 months to do it. As I gear up for my racing and money raising season it still amazes me what I have been able to accomplish. The need to raise awareness about multiple myeloma and to find a cure has been an extremely powerful motivator over the last year.

Here's to the next 500 miles.
