I'm running in the Beach to Bay Relay Race in Corpus Christi, TX this Saturday. I'm not exactly a runner, (actually not at all-swimming is my thing) but I got caught up in the momnet and thought what fun a weekend at the baech would be and hey, my leg ofthe race is only 4.0 miles, no sweat,what's 4 miles?, so I registered for the race with 5 other friends. I survived chemo, I can run (with a little walking when noone is looking)for 4.) miles. My leg of the race is dedicated to the semi-colons & CSN family!

    Hi Suzannchili,

    This is very cool. Good luck in the race. Do you get people to sponser you with a certain amount for each mile?

    Thank you. There are no sponsors. The registration fees for the race are dibursed to local charities. Our team spent close to $200 in registartion fees. I hope the weather is not too hot.

    I'm laughing my A.. off. If you've never ran 4 miles you are going to be one hurting puppy! You are too funny. Best of luck and keep breathing. Thanks for the dedication!

    Hi Suzanne:

    You remind me of that TV commercial with a guy saying - I've seen it in a cartoon once, I think I can do it :)

    You go girl - that's the spirit!

    Pleeeeese remember to stretch before and after!

    You are a hoot and very brave too girlfriend!!!!!!!! Drink loads of water before, during and after!!!!!!!! Get some magnesium, it is really good at helping with sore muscles after a workout.

    Hey girl - Good luck this weekend - have fun, and thanks for the dedication! I have only recently started running, and 4 miles seems HUGE! I know you can do it - we can do anything we set our minds to, no? Godspeed!
    xoxo,

    Have a great time... thanks for running/walking/crawling in our honor! Make sure to stretch after the race - it will be hard when you win to stay grounded. :)

    I move just west of South Padre Is. next weekend... us Texans should set up a gathering when it cools off.

    Have a great weekend. We will be cheering you on from our air conditioned sofas. jana
