Reminder...Virtual Run for Sherry on Saturday!

Just a quick reminder that the virtual run for Sherry is Saturday!

Print a bib, pin it, and get out there. Run, Walk, Crawl...it doesn't matter.  You will be a part of a collective and massive movement for healing. You will be a part of an effort to expand goodness. You will be remembering Sherry by doing something she loved. You will be helping the light edge out and defeating the darkness.

Virtual Run For Sherry

Thank you.

Virtual Run for Sherry Arnold

As I previously mentioned on this blog, a Montana runner, Sherry Arnold, was abducted on January 7.  Two men have been arrested and admitted to killing her.  I found out about the story from Beth, owner of Shutupandrun.net blog.

I checked Beth's blog obsessively as the story unfolded, cried when I heard that she wasn't coming home, and am still in shock and disbelief over what has happened.  Sherry's story has forever changed the way I run.  We all get lax in our ways when things become comfortable and routine. I now carry a phone with me at all times and let my husband know when I'm leaving, where I am going, and check in with him as soon as I am back.  Beth is organizing a virtual run for Sherry on 2/11/12.  I am rounding up my group of friends and we will all be out there wearing the bib on our morning run.

Running for Sherry...please join us!

Not much to write about these days.

The death of Sherry Arnold has really made me pause in my daily life.  For those not in the running community, she was abducted on a run on January 7.  You can follow the story on Beth's blog or just google her name. 

For the week she was missing, I thought about her often.  That Friday, I found out a 4 month old died in a local day care.  Sherry was confirmed dead (although no body has been recovered) that same day.  To say that was a crappy day would be an understatement.  How could this happen to them?  

I've been trying hard to live in the moment and cherish everything.  Who knows when your time is up?
