Running – COVID or Not. Let’s cheer them on.

From Lidia F: The article is from a newspaper (of very limited circulation). It was digitally scanned by Ann Parthemore who is my niece and who was impressed by the way these two women went about dealing with the pandemic and decided to set up their own 65K route and trained for it. Their first run was in mid August, or later, and the heat and humidity was high, traffic was a problem on narrow two lane road, but locals came out along the route and cheered them on and they persevered. It did not matter what their time was, they finished.!!!

Now they are planning for another run on 9/11/20 except the route will be in reverse.

What I would like to do is to ask for “Virtual Cheering” support from my friends and neighbors at Skyline (Kathy Bainbridge is one of them whom I have recruited!) This is not a fund raiser, it simply is a tribute to all the virtual walks that Lisa has created for us here in all the years we have lived here with a simple goal goal of fitness, no matter your age!

Anyone who is willing to comment on their effort can e-mail me and I shall make sure that Pat Murphy and her friend will get the message.
