Team Boomer sent me a ton of cool gear yesterday. Included in my packet was a longsleeve navy team boomer under armor shirt, a matching short sleeve one, a matching navy hat, and a pair of Nike navy running shorts...Cold or hot, I'm set for the race. I also recieved a hundred light blue plastic bracelets and pamphlets, which y'all will be getting next time I see you:)
Here's the inspirational part of all this-they included their newsletter that tells about all the things people are doing for the cause...one man is doing the iron man Hawaii to celebrate the sixth anniversary of his double lung transplant, 2 kids with cystic fibrosis just recieved scholarships to run cross country in college, a football camp (it is the Boomer Esasion foundation) camp is being held to promote fitness for children living with CF. I read an article about the guy who sent me the packet, he's 51 and living with CF and says that fitness is the only thing that has kept him alive.
My schedule for this week matches last week 2 sixes, an eight, a four, and a fifteen, and maybe a swim.
Oh, and last week in running I saw the following- ten soldiers in full gear with packs and all marching on town lake in the heat, a lady in a wheel chair pushing herself up a large hill at race speed, a kid with down syndrome running along side his mom, a dad pushing a double running stroller and the children looking happy as can be, and at least a dozen American flags! God is everywhere! Blog done- LJ

That is awesome! It is wonderful to open your eyes when you run, but you have also opened your heart by helping others and so you are able to see pure beauty. I am proud of you! KEEP WRITING!
Wow...very cool. You are always so upbeat and inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
