I keep getting asked how the run went and I realized that I haven’t done a wrap up blog yet…oops.

To answer  your top two questions; “How many miles did you run?” I ran roughly 20 miles this year, which is not very much for me, normally I average about 38-42 miles over the course of the 36 hours. Yes I know 20 is A LOT but I kinda beat myself up about it. I wanted to run more for you…I really really did…but this stupid injury just didn’t let me. Next is the question is “Did you hit $15,000?” Yes, I did, I hit it and passed it finishing the run with $15,240!!! This makes my six year total over $53,000! I know, I’m amazed and shocked and blown away by your generosity and helping me support St. Jude. I don’t know what it is that I do that convinces you year after year to donate to my fundraising but I’m glad it works. All the runs combined this year raised $5,209,098.39 and coupled with the telethon a record amount of $10,132,140, something that could NOT have been done without you. From everyone who donated one dollar on up, your generosity did this!

I am already feeling the stress for 2018, I don’t know how I did this this year, so yes…the pressure is there for next…yikes.

Until then enjoy a few of my favorite photos from the Chicago To Peoria Run 2017.
