1 Man, 1 Day, 4 Races!
I committed to raising $10,000 this year for Children's Hospital Boston! What that means is I've had to get "creative" with my fundraising. While I was on a 16 mile long run the idea came to me... Create a "Virtual" Race! But it can't just be any virtual race it has to be an AMAZING virtual race. So, I came-up with the idea of creating, organizing, directing and running the "36k for Miracles" Challenge! I will be running all four races on 3/20/11, and you can "challenge" me in whatever single race you would like. The best part id that it is VIRTUAL! That's right, what that means is that no matter what you are running or walking that day, (i.e. The LA Marathon, or the New Bedford Half Marathon or just a regular old training run) you too can participate! As a matter of fact you can run or walk your race whenever you would like between the time you register and 11:59pm on 3/20 and just send me your time to be entered into the results and prize drawings!

Following race weekend, I will post everyone's race results and pictures (if you should choose to send them to me) on my blog.
