It’s official.
I’ve signed the paperwork and begun actual physical training to run in November’s San Antonio Half Marathon in as part of CCFA’s (Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America’s*) Team Challenge. Last Saturday was our first group training session and we ran three miles along the lakefront and through Milwaukee’s East Side. This is literally the longest distance I’ve ever run, and at the start I was doubtful I could even complete those three miles. I did walk for several stretches, but completed the session — a major personal accomplishment and a great way to start raising both awareness and research funds for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
