Sprint for Life, May 2010 — Photo-Artistry by kenne
The last time I ran in Houston’s MD Anderson Cancer Center “Sprint for Life” fundraiser was May 2014. I ran the 5k in 30 minutes, coming third in the over 70 age group. For now, I have given up running, replacing it with walking and hiking. Whether I start running again or not, running will always be in my blood.
In case you are wondering, in the May 2010 run pictured above, I was 3rd in the 65-70 age group. Also, I no longer wear white crew socks!

Late yesterday, Joy and I drove down to the Medical Center where we would be staying the The Rotary House International hotel, which is a part of The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
We chose to do this rather than leave The Woodlands at 6:00 a.m. to participate in the Blanton-Davis Ovarian Research Program 13th Annual Sprint for Live. Since Jill, Greg and James were also staying there (Jill & Greg work for MD Anderson), we could have dinner with them.
As a volunteer, Greg was up early this morning helping to get the event ready for some 2,500 people. Jill and I were running a 5k on one of the many teams, and Joy would be watching James, who would later participate in the Tot Trot. During the awards, I was surprised to learn that I came in third in the 65-69 age group with a time of 29 minutes and 39 seconds, which was also the fastest time on our team. This year’s event help push the total funds raised for the Blanton-Davis Ovarian Research Program goal of $400,000. This morning was a happy time for a lot of runners, walkers, survivors and their families.
