Friday Fitness - Devin's Dash 2011: Why We Run

Happy Friday everyone!

It is the day before Devin’s Dash and there is quite a buzz around H3! Former guests are reuniting and new guests are getting excited about the upcoming race. What amazes me is how many people have an emotional connection to this race. Some are friends of Devin’s and really connected with him while staying at H3. Others have their own personal stories of fighting cancer that are inspirational and moving. I want to linger in the hallways and listen to the stories of those who are here; they are all inspirational and moving.

Below are a few people I had the opportunity to speak with this week who will be participating in the 5k tomorrow. We talked about what motivates you to participate, what are you racing for?



I want to give a special shout out to the over 50 people we had participating in our Devin’s Dash training program! We had first time 5k participants and seasoned 3.1 veterans.  It was really enjoyed the ability to train along beside you all and I’m so excited about the progress you have made and stories you have shared. I wish you all the best of luck tomorrow!

I encourage all of you, wherever you are, to get out tomorrow; either for an after dinner thermal walk, or a stroll through the park with friends.  Enjoy the fall weather and the ability to be active! Have a great one!
