$13 for 13.1 miles. If we can run 13.1 miles--you can donate $13!!!
Deciding to fundraise for Autism Awareness was a no-brainer for me. Everyone knows someone with Autism or someone that knows someone with Autism. It's so important to increase awareness to support all the families!!

| Woodrow Wilson Half Marathon Course: Mount Vernon to National Harbor, MD. |
Gale and I have been training over the past couple months and are kicking it into high gear these next couple weeks right up to our race on October 7th. Our runs have consisted of 5k's on Tuesday's with the Shirlington Running Club and long runs on the Custis Trail that goes from Arlington to Georgetown. We ran the 911 Memorial 5k this weekend which was an amazing, emotional, and overwhelming experience! But as a personal goal for me, I only walked once in the 3.2 miles which is the best 5k I've done yet!!

| Running with the neighbs!! Since I have started running more and more races, I have learned that EVERYONE is so supportive during the races. From the people on the sideline to the complete stranger who slowed his pace to keep me moving during the race on Saturday. Yes, I'm a sap and yes, I teared up when this man saw me slowing down and left his group to run at my pace for the last mile. What an amazing experience!! WE DID IT!!!!! We finished our first half marathon!!! All the pain was totally worth it! :)    MANY, MANY THANKS TO ALL OF OUR SUPPORTERS!! YOU ROCK!!! Xoxo, Anna |
