We had an all company event today at work...a Day of Celebration. There is something neat about having all of your co-workers together in one room celebrating success in times like these. It is inspiring. The stories told about service and commitment to sales were amazing. The Keynote Speaker today was Anne Ryder (a long time newscaster for our local WTHR 13 NBC affiliate). She has had some amazing experiences including face time with Mother Theresa. Her speech was awe inspiring. Not because of her brilliance as a speaker, but because of her faith. The way that she is able to stand up in a room full of people at a non-faith based event and be so sure of her faith in spite of anyone else...just amazing. So why remember why...because He is why. God, our Amazing Heavenly Father, can give strength and permeate through the soul. His light reaches through people, outward to others and inspiration spreads. We help people because God first helped us. We love people, because He first loved us. We do what we do, because of Him. Any other reason and we are lost to the cause.
I can't believe that Wednesday marks the beginning of week 2 already. I feel like I was just telling Liz that I had this idea for a running challenge and shabang...here we are starting week 2! And people are doing it with me! I logged 10.5 miles in Week 1 (starting off a little ahead never hurts :)).

I think it is my IT Band...I know this is pretty common, but it stinks to have pain. Anyone have any good suggestions for IT Band therapy. I have heard of using a foam roller, but have no idea how to use one or even what to buy...suggestions?? Liz has also given me a great idea to do a badge or something to mark progress on this quest. I am thinking of something, but haven't had much time to devote to it. I like the idea...what about anyone else doing this journey with...
