WEAR IT AND BE GRATEFUL…
Last month I wrote about a tragic event, where Meg Cross Menzies was hit and killed by a drunk driver while she was on her morning training run.
It was something that rocked the running community. Out of extreme sorrow, however, came unity as runners everywhere (over 36,000) dedicated their runs to her memory…and they keep running. I don’t know how many miles they’ve tallied so far (well over 100,000) but the number keeps climbing. I hope it never stops.
In addition to the dedication of their miles, runners have also done their part to help Meg’s family by purchasing shirts in her memory.
Mine came last night and I’m honored to wear it.
For Meg… run on!
For Meg…
CAN I SEE YOUR I.D.?
Tag, you’re it!
Here’s a bad joke.
MOM (to young son): “Are you going out?”
SON: “Yes.”
MOM: “Do you have on clean underwear?”
SON: “Why?”
MOM: “In case you’re in an accident.”
SON: “If I’m in an accident I’m going to poop my pants anyway, so what does it matter if they’re clean now.”
Like I said, a bad joke.
RUN AND BE GRATEFUL
Meg Menzies
In the short time I’ve been writing this blog, I’ve had a lot of fun telling my personal stories, giving out hints, race reviews and poking fun at something I love so dearly. I prefer taking a light-hearted and humorous approach to this and life in general.
But there are some things that irk me, make me mad or in this case utterly friggin’ pissed off.
I read a news story today and it made me want to yell to the heavens at the top of my lungs.
Yesterday morning Meg Menzies was out for her daily training run when she was hit and killed by a drunk driver. CLICK HERE for the news story.
