I ran alongside hundreds of others in Beachwood, Ohio this morning as part of the annual Race for the Place fundraising event.  All proceeds raised (including your donation!) directly support The Gathering Place and allows their organization to continue offering services free of charge to families touched by cancer in Northeast Ohio.

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge each person who sponsored my run:

  1. Bill Reid

And for all of you who are curious — I finished the race in a respectable 31:42 — which is an average pace of 5.88 MPH.  I’m training hard to build up endurance and speed and regularly do 2 miles at a constant 6.5 MPH on a treadmill every other day.  In my next race I aim to beat 30 minutes.
Thanks again and I’ll see you next year!
