Meg Cross Menzies was tragically killed by a drunk driver while out for her morning run on January 13, 2014. As an avid runner, member of the Richmond Road Runners Club, and Boston marathoner, she was a member of the running family nationwide. In her honor, our hope is to raise awareness of drunk driving, texting and driving, and overall safety of runners and cyclists everywhere.I decided that I wanted to run five miles for Meg. I went to the gym on Saturday to run on the treadmill. I set up to do my friday session of Ease into the 5k so I did Week 3 Day 3 of that program. During the running session I got to 2 miles so I needed to do another 3 to get to my goal. I knew those 3 miles were going to be tough for me to get in but I accomplished my goal. I put 5 miles under my feet in about an hour and a half.
I was just really happy that I was able to be apart of such a great community this past Saturday that we came together to show how much the running community is there for each other.
