Up Was Tough… So Was Down! |

This past Saturday I took part in my first Train With Ron Charity Hill Run event near Soldier Field. The run benefits the Chicago Anti-Cruelty Society, an animal shelter in downtown Chicago. Coincidentally, Monika and I got our fine four legged family member Brady at this very shelter! (It worked out amazingly well, she is a dream doggie!) When the announcement about the Hill Run was made, I shot my mouth off on Facebook and told everyone I would be running for $.50 per hill or a flat donation of $30.00 – this was before I had ever seen the hill and I wasn’t aware that we had only 60 minutes to do it… I thought we’d be able to run until we hit our goal! Monika is still on the 15-Day Disabled List / Injured Reserve so she was there to support all the runners and take pictures. She wanted to run very badly and can’t wait to get back into her workout routine. We were members of the gym last year, but opted not to be a part of the hill run because we were so new. As I looked at that hill last Saturday and remembered the kind of shape I was in this time last year, I doubted whether I could have made it up 5 times… never mind 60.
