Worldwide Running Community

This is too good not to share.

Please watch the slideshow of the worldwide run that honored Sherry Arnold last weekend.

Runners across the United States, Egypt, China, Switzerland to name a few places came together in outpouring of support for Sherry and her family.

WOW!

Running for Sherry Arnold

I fastened my race bib to my shirt and ran in honor of Sherry Arnold this morning.

I can't wait to hear the stories and see the pictures that the worldwide running community posts about this. 

I ran just under 4 miles, that has become a long run for me these days.  

As I ran I thought about Sherry Arnold and her family and I have never been so proud as I was this morning that I am a part of an amazing community.  A community of runners. 

Runners Edge of the Rockies had over 150 people that came out to run in the snow and 14 degree weather. That is just one of I am sure many more stories to be told about communities that came together because the unthinkable had happened to one of us. 

Please be sure and check out the post from Shut Up and Run about the outpouring of love and support for Sherry and her family. 

Running for Sherry:  Courage, Strength, Grace. 

Honored.

Worldwide Virtual Run for Sherry Arnold

I am participating in a virtual run tomorrow for Sherry Arnold who was abducted one mile  from her home on January 7, 2012 while she was out running.

Please take a moment and watch the video here about the run tomorrow and visit her cousin's blog to read more about the movement.

As someone who loves being a part of the running community, it will be an honor to run for Sherry and take back our roads and hopefully begin a healing process for Sherry's family through a worldwide outpouring of love.

To continue my thoughts this week about love, here is another circumstance that could cause us to doubt, to lessen our resolve.

"When in doubt, love"~Patti Digh

"Love is the answer to everything, baby"~Kim Mailhot

So tomorrow out of love for Sherry Arnold we will shut up and run our hearts out.
