7. Black Girls Run! Drive to End Hunger 5K(GA) – September
8. Great Prostate Cancer Challenge One Mile Fun Walk(with my son & men from my church while honoring my dad who is a SURVIVOR!) – September
For the month of October I have three races: 9. Baltimore Running Festival Marathon Relay(MD), 10. Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5K and 11. Marine Corps Marathon 10K.
Some of these races are also training runs for me as my last race for the year will be 12. St. Jude Memphis Marathon – Half Marathon(TN) in December.And with this race, the states challenge will be MET…God willing and the creek don’t rise! 🙂

7 miles on tap for me this weekend in the Baltimore Running Festival. I’ve never run this race before but it’s Baltimore’s BIGGEST at 27,000 runners. Hoping for a FUN TIME for me & my relay team! Please wish Team Southern Soles(representing TN, GA & South Cacky Lacky) some Fun, Fellowship & a Finish in the upright position…that’s what matters to me in this racing game! 😉
