Hello my darling readers. I’m not asking you for anything, I just wanted to let you know about Miles for Monika. Monika has been a friend of mine for a few years now. We may not keep in touch regularly, but we always pick up where we left off when we do see each other. She’s one of those people that you know will be there for you and do anything for you when things are looking grim. You can’t help but love her even though you envy her for how much she actually loves running and how she makes it a priority.

So what is all this Miles for Monika stuff? Kelsey has the info on her blog, all of which she has so eloquently worded, but I will give you the gist: wonderfully athletic Monika is going in for yucky surgery and we are showing our support through logging walking/running/moving your butt miles on Kelsey’s blog.

I logged 3.25 miles today even though I came up with a million excuses as to why I shouldn’t run this morning or why I should stop at the second mile, but I did it and I’m not too proud to say I did it for Monika. And I will do it again tomorrow, maybe I’ll see if I can do one more mile.

Here’s the current count from Kelsey’s blog ….

Hug your friends today. The furry ones, the crazy ones, all of them.
