Saturday morning is the Akron Marathon!
My goal is to run strong and to finish 26.2 miles in 4:00 hours…(a test for the OC 100 coming in two weeks,) then another long run on Sunday…about 45 miles for the weekend! This is my last long run weekend before OC…Hoorah!! It’s gonna hurt a bit but it’s worth every step!
Thanks for all the emails and words of encouragement. They help a lot!
Honoree Update –
My sister Elizabeth has been having quite a few rough days due to the chemo…she has severe anemia and that makes it hard to breathe, and she caught a cold on top of all that. Really sucks! She’s hanging in there though…she’s my inspiration big time…if you can, put in a prayer for her and for George and for Kathy and all of our Honorees!
Our Honoree list is at 164…list attached if you haven’t seen it before…prayers for all! If you have someone you love with cancer or lost to cancer, I would be honored to run for them. Send me their name and their story and we will add them to our list. They keep me going when the miles get tough!

It takes more than one person to make up a team and that’s why I’m asking you to consider donating! Your donation will help fund treatments through LLS that save lives every day; like immune-therapies that use a person’s own immune system to kill cancer. Every single donation helps save a life with breakthrough therapies such as these!
I need your help to reach my $10,000 fundraising goal for cancer research! Please consider a donation. We need all the help we can get to fight the good fight. Thank you! You can donate online at: http://pages.teamintraining.org/noh/RoadRun14/ealewis

Run Steady, Run Strong!
