We did it!!!!!! Thank you all so very much for all your support and help. I can't believe my mom and I ran/walked 250K in 50 days...I never thought I could do it. Especially with all the the traveling..yikes!
But it's done!! I feel great and certainly want to keep up the running. But most importantly we raised over $3,000 for Kristy! Unreal...thank you all so much!
Love,
Meghan

Final post from Marcy
Hi all,
We did it! We completed our 5k a day for 50 days on Saturday that included Meghan hitting the treadmill at the Ritz Carlton in Los Angeles on the last day (don't ask how many miles she did!) Meghan, Kristy and I can't thank you enough for your generosity and support while we achieved this exciting goal to raise money for Kristy's medical bills. Meghan and I are both in better shape and happy to be out there exercising. Hopefully we have it in us to continue to keep healthy and happy by regular exercise.
Love,
Marcy

64K to go.....
We're getting down to the finish line!! I can't believe its been 41 days! I can't believe we've done it! Granted I should be at 45K left...still making up from France...but do not worry. I promise to complete those 64 kilometers before Sunday Nov 4th! Just in time to relax for the election :)
I'm headed to LA on Sunday so I'll be rounding the finish line there. Wish I could finish with my mom but we'll celebrate over Thanksgiving. I have to say this has been such an amazing experience. First off how humbling this is. I'm not going to lie, it's been difficult. And my body is certainly aching much more these days. But still, this is nothing compared to the stress cancer treatments puts on ones body. It really puts things in perspective. For my friends and loved ones that have fought cancer, I am in awe of your strength and reslience. Additionally, the amazing amount of support we've received has been overwhelming. I'm so glad that we've been able to put a dent in Kristy's debt. Thank you all so very much!

Marcy - Run Run Run
Hello everyone,
Run, run, run...or I should say ride/walk with the elliptical bike at the rec center. My knee is much better and, in fact, I might be able to start walking around the park again. Fall is beautiful in Colorado and I like to walk among the colorful trees with that cool crisp air and great smells of autumn. Kristy Penzone is working away at Hilton Intl. in online marketing and continuing her treatments and in this October month that honors breast cancer survivors, she's one of the many courageous women I know who keep a brave face as they deal with an awful disease.
You have another two weeks to contribute to our 5k a day for 50 days fund for Kristy. Please go to http://www.giveforward.com/
When this ends on Nov. 3, I plan to continue my 5k's (just not every day!)
Love,
Marcy

Meghan Update
Bonjour! Hola! Hello!
Well I just got back from France for work with a nice little layover in Barcelona. Not a bad place to work but I was SLAMMED!! Meetings from 9am-1am. Suffice to say running was tough. I definitely have a lot of catching up to do. The walk to and from the Palais was 1 mile. Additionally I walked at least another mile every day going from other mtgs, back to town, back to apt...etc.
So to be safe (no shortcuts here!) I averaged a minimum of 1.5 miles a day. So that's about 2.4K, meaning I have to make up the additional 2.6K from every day I was there. I'm getting very scientific about this! No worries, I will make it up by November 3rd...the last day! I have to say I've really missed running and I'm excited to be back on track. Thank you all for your continued support!
Love,
Meghan

Kristy just got a job which we are so grateful for and Meghan and I have raised 68% of our goal so thank you to all who gave and others please consider putting in $10 to help us reach $4,000. http://www.
