Miles for Monika & the power of the Internet

The Internet has been a lifesaver for me since moving down here. It has allows me to stay in touch with Oklahoma friend & it has brought some really wonderful new friends in to my life. Oh, the power of the Internet...
One of my 'Internet friends' (yes, we've met in real life, several times, she actually borrowed my wedding veil) had major surgery to remove a golf ball - sized cyst from her chest yesterday. You can read all about Monika on her blog. Monika is a fitness guru & a beast when it comes to running (She recently won a nike+ challenge by running 181 miles in the first 2 months of this year....HOLY CRAP! stolen from Kelsey) & her surgery will knock her out of running for at least 6 weeks. So a fellow 'Internet friend' (yes, I've met her too) has posed a challenge for all runners or just peeps that want to do something for Monika.

Please, if you get a chance, go log a few Miles for Monika, and go read about the challenge on Kelsey's blog.


If you don't feel comfortable logging your miles on Kelsey's blog, leave me a comment with your miles & I will log them for you. I logged 2.5 miles yesterday & I'm getting ready change & head out the door. Get up from the computer & go run...for Monika.
