9-2-2010  Speedy run under the stars this morning! Felt GREAT & oddly refreshing! Until the fog settled in . . . then it was just creepy!

9-4-2010  Having your kids dogpile you while stretching after a long, hard run is one of the most joyful & painful experience ever! #lovinmykids

9-8-2010 I admit I lack motivation this morning . . . maybe because a treadmill just doesn't have the same appeal as the open road! All for the greater good of raising cancer awareness! God bless the Christensen family this morning!

9-15-2010  I've jumped up to the 5-day a week running/training for the Portland Half Marathon! My shoes are on FIRE!!! I also have a web address that you can make donations for the American Cancer Society in honor of Kelly Christensen!!! http://main.acsevents.org/goto/karenstandley If everyone donated $5, we could change the world!!! =)

9-18-2010 Ran 11miles this morning! Found out yesterday that a family member was just diagnosed w breast cancer on Thursday! Just more fuel to the fire this morning to run for cancer awareness! Keep the prayers & donations

9-23-2010 Maintained 9minute miles this morning which might seem slow to many people! But it feels fast to this mommy body! lol! Challenge: Run a mile today dedicated to someone you know suffering from cancer! =)

9-25-2010 Just finished my last 13+ mile run til 10-10-10! Took almost 4minutes off my time! I'm so excited!!! Keep praying for victims of cancer!

9-30-2010  I ran 4 miles at 8:05 per mile!!! (except mile 2)! =p 10 seconds slower on that one! Can't believe the Portland Half Marathon is next Sunday!!! So excited & nervous! Please pray for the Christensen family & all families who suffer from cancer!!! You can donate in the name of your loved ones too!!!
