Today I ran the Bridge Run Challenge. This was a 6.2 mile race to benefit the LARC school. LARC is a non-profit educational school that provides services for moderate to severe disabled children. These services are provided the children at no cost to the parents.
My sister and I also ran in support of our non-profit organization Family Empowerment Center(FEC). FEC is a faith based non-profit organization that provides services in the Rogers Park Community of Chicago, IL.
Today we not only ran for these organizations but for our own goals. For Tricia it was her first race longer than a 5k(3.1mi) She wanted to finish under 1:05 and did- she finished in 59 minutes. For Shannon it was her first race after recovering from a back injury-she ran with her back brace and did her best time 1:05 minutes. Her cousin Jodi had a baby in June and this was her first race since then. Her and Shannon did it together and finished a 1:05. And for me- my goal was to do it under 55 minutes and I did-54:06.
It was a rainy day, but we didn't let that get to us-We enjoyed it and embraced our accomplishments.
