Run for the Fallen


I was watching CBS news this evening when an amazing story came on. The story of a group of runners who have dedicated themselves to run one mile for every soldier who has been killed during Operation Iraqi Freedom. They started their journey on June 14, 2008 and will run from Fort Irwin, CA to Arlington National Cemetery averaging just over 50 miles a day.
Wow. I found this to unbelievable. A group of people so motivated by the loved ones they have lost. If only everyone could find something to motivate them to do anything. I wish the route was going through Michigan, because I would run right along with them. The next time life lets you down, stop and be thankful for the good that you do have in your life. And remember those runners crossing the country...
