Well Folks, I gave it my all at the Leadville 100-Mile "Race Across the Sky" this year ~ I made it 60 miles!
I was late for the cutoff time, so did not go on.

My team was beyond incredible - and the support from all of you has been overwhelming.

My goal and belief had been to be stronger and able to gather more miles for your pledges ~ I also was humbled and learned a great deal about perseverence. This leaves me even more in awe of little Rory's strengths.

Thank You with all my heart for your pledge per mile. Please click on the link to the right to donate your pledge x 60.
Or if you prefer other arrangements, please send me an email at: spiritrunning@gmail.com


Rory is my beautiful 2-year-old niece and god-daughter who was diagnosed with a rare form of late-stage, high-risk cancer on February 24th this year. She is a little fighter with a mighty spirit, brave through countless procedures, chemo treatments, therapies, and surgeries.

Rory is now walking with the help of her parents, a foot brace, and PT every day. I am so proud of her!

I commit! I won't quit! I am going to continue to work hard, hard and get as strong as i can to keep up with her. Way to set the bar up there, Rory!!

On-Track

I get to visit beautiful Rory over Easter Weekend, and I couldn't be more honored.  I am looking forward to sharing this site with her and hoping that she'll enjoy the pictures.

Ran up outside of Winter Park and Fraser, CO this weekend, over 9,000 ft., 20 miles or so..not exact.
My foot is having some pain, and doing my exercises helps immensely.  gotta do the work!
 If Rory can do it, I can do it.

Spring is here, trees are sweetly blooming...
