TNT Week 7- Silent Mile

This week we ran 7 miles. There wasn't any snow, thank goodness, but we did run in the rain. The weather has been beautiful lately, so hopefully it stays. I'm tired of all the wetness! There was an important message at this weeks run. We ran the first mile in silence to honor those affected by blood-related cancers. There was also rose petals for all the patients. We dropped them as we ran the first mile and on the way back we saw the petals on the ground as a reminder why we were there and it gave us a little push to make it to the finish. We always hear numbers and statistics, but we don't really see just how big the numbers are until they are represented by objects. The ground was covered with rose petals. It was beautiful, yet so sad. It was an inspiring message for me.
