Running For Kristen: Week 20

Okay, I'm officially back into the swing of running for the other Kristen, which I took a break from while away at residency (a poor decision, as it turns out -- getting back into running after not doing it for several weeks is neither easy nor fun).

To catch you up on the backstory, the other Kristen Forbes died last June of cervical cancer at the age of 23. Her family has formed a foundation in her honor -- for more info on that, check out www.kristenEVE.org.

For 40 (not always consecutive) weeks, I am setting aside $1 for every mile I run to donate to Kristen's foundation.

This week, I ran 12 miles, bringing the total amount raised to date to $198.
