Below I share some thoughts about my first month of running and fundraising.

After the first month of my virtual Run Over To Ellen’s, I’m almost to the “B” pin on the map which is Red Rock, MT and the “C” pin is Lima, MT. We’ve raised $149 dollars so far for Guide Dogs for the Blind, and we’ve been on the local news. Still a long ways to go on all fronts, but I’m up for it…so let’s run!
