I love running and have ran a few charity marathons this year. I'm not sure what I have going on in March, but if I'm available to run I'm down.

I won this brick for taking 4th place in a 5k I did in Chino earlier this year.

Wow, that's a great prize for a great cause!

That would be awesome if you ran it with me!

Would you mind giving me her name, first name only is fine, I'd like to add her to my list of people I am running in Honor of. Everyone counts!

I've had just about enough of the big "C" in my life: Lost my maternal grandma to colon cancer in early 2001; paternal grandpa to Cancer of the blood, I believe, in 2000, paternal aunt to I believe cervical cancer in 2006 and my dad to a very aggressive form of stomach cancer this past March-gone in 4 mos.

NRI would be honored and proud to have his name on your shirt!

She had stitches from top to bottom on her nose, in order to see the scar you would have to be six inches from her face, literally...

Being a red head AND growing up out in the sun, I make annual trips to the dermatologist... Just went one month or so ago and they always end up freezing about 5-6 spots on my face... A former dermatologist that I was seeing told me that with my skin type and the spots that he detected that I should be coming in for exams every SIX MONTHS...

DON'T delay folks, this is serious stuff... I lost a close friend from church earlier this year from the long term effects of four years of basal cell carcinoma... My father has had some pretty major surgery on his ears/nose as did his mother...

Getting set up with a dermatologist can be a pain in the azz because they are SOOOOO busy but please please take the time and get yourself checked out... In the last 10 years I would estimate that I have had 50-60 spots frozen/scraped/removed from my face/arms/shoulders...

---

Please don't hesitate to give me names, that's my purpose and goal. I want people to see just how many people are effected by Cancer. Don't worry about me not having enough room on my shirt. I will wear a head to toe leotard if I have to, but I WILL MAKE EVERY NAME FIT! Without awareness we can't warn others to get checked and save their lives.

So sad

Thing is as difficult it will be for me, it's nothing compared to what people who have cancer are going through. So, I'll put on my big girl pants and suck it up!

I did two century (100) bike rides in 2008 and raised money for the leukemia and lymphoma society. That was a tough 6 weeks of training.

Just start out small. I started running again a little over a year ago. I would run a treadmill mile to warm up at the gym, but hitting the streets is much different. The 1st run I did was a 5 mile mountain trail with a friend and I couldn't believe I finished however I could barely walk for a week. A few months later he and I ran around the Newport Back Bay (11 miles) and I surprised myself again. I kept putting the negative thought in my head that I couldn't do it alone and now I run that distance solo no prob. I started running solo and would make a goal of 3 miles.. then on to 4 then 6 then to 8 now I'm doing over 10 miles on a run. Just start out small. If you run a mile, you're a runner! Speed and distance don't matter as long as your lacing up and getting out there. Running is a full body work out, so switch it up with days at the gym to build muscle.

I can run 4 miles right now. I was going to put myself on a training schedule

M, W, F run 4 miles; Sun, Tuesday Thursday weights

Saturday
increase run by 1 mile per week; so week one will be 4 miles and week two 5 etc…

What is the max miles I need to train for? When we did the century rides we never rode more than 85 miles at one time before actually doing the 100 miles.

My problem is I hate running on a treadmill, so I will have to get some pepper spray. It's dark out when I can go.

I would love the names of your brothers, uncles, mother in law, wife and her sister so that I may add them to my shirt.

Thank you for the offer for sponsorship, but the run is not going to cost me much more than entry fees. You are already part of this run. If you like you can donate to the American Cancer Society, I set up a fundraiser page. The link is on the Original Post.

Yea running at night is sketchy and tread mills are boring. I mainly worry about getting hit by a car. I'd start with 3-4 miles 2 days a week. 1 day of sprints. Get on the treadmill, put it on ten and go for 15 seconds then walk for 30. Do this 10-15 times. You can also do this in the cardio classroom at your gym. 1st just go for a run. Then whatever is sore the next day is what you need to focus working on! My knees are kinda shitty so I try to ice them after every run.

My left knee is shitty too! Putting a treadmill on 10 is likely gonna have me on the floor behind the treadmill. I'm 5' tall, my legs work harder.
