For Torryn and Ryan...

Tomorrow I will run in my 3rd Wings for Life World Run! I've enjoyed this event for the past two years (since its inception) and I'm pretty confident tomorrow will not disappoint. I'm going to try and stick with a "run a mile: walk a little" interval strategy, but really my primary goal is to run farther than I did last year (a 10K) and to have fun!

Today was packet pick-up. They had several dates and locations for packet pick-up this year, but I always prefer to go the day before and see what they have set up at the BBT Center. This year they provided a pre-race day warm up/boot camp session, so I took Kai with me and we joined in the fun...

We did a variety of different workouts and stretches...

Kai doesn't need help to balance, only me...

After the bootcamp I went to sign the waiver and get my race packet. The race shirts are yellow this year (they are normally blue), which was a nice (albeit bright) change...

The Wings for Life World Run raises money for spinal cord injury research and helps promote awareness of spinal cord injuries. As a trauma nurse this is a cause that's really important to me, so tomorrow I will line up with other members of the global running community and run for those who can't. In particular, tomorrow I will run for Torryn and Ryan, dear friends of mine whose bravery and determination inspire me every day.
