Giant Race 2014

Last weekend I ran my third Giant Race benefiting Project Open Hand.  I ran with a great group of people, 3 of whom ran it with me last year too!  I also got to run the whole race with one of my oldest friends - neither of us had our ipods so we talked the entire time!

It was my second year fundraising for this event.  Last year I had a goal of $500 and exceed it at $525.  This year, I increased my goal to $750 and shattered it at $940!!  Just $2 provides a healthy meal to a sick or elderly person in the bay area.  So that means 470 meals!!  That is over a year's worth for one person.  I am so grateful to all who supported my efforts and fundraising.

It was an absolutely gorgeous day in the city by the bay - seriously could not ask for better weather! We ended on the field as usual and got to enjoy a little down time at AT&T after the race.  A third race in the bag.

I am going to announce it here and now so you can all hold me to it - next year I will be running the 10k instead of the 5k!!  I am going to double my distance ... can you double the donation?!  :)
