Next Saturday I'll be running the Women's 4 Miler, a race in Charlottesville that raises money for the UVA Cancer Center Breast Care Program. It's the largest all-women's runs the state and the course is along the rolling hills west of town. This will be my 3rd of the races; we've lived here 4 years and I've only missed one due to being 7 months pregnant! Anyways, it's an awesome race with a whole mile decorated in signs of dedication to those who have battled breast cancer.
This year I've made it a goal to improve my time. I've never thought of myself as fast, but thanks to some interval training I've shaved a minute of my pace and hope to run at about 8 minutes per mile! I'm pretty excited about that as I've never run that fast in my life!
I'm also trying to raise a little money for the cause, so if you want to cheer me on in that way, I would greatly appreciate it :) A big thanks to those of you who already helped out! Just be sure to give it to me...I'm the only McNew in there :)

But I couldn't do this run without my cheering section. Number one of course is Kyle. He helps me make time in my day to do my run. I don't have pictures in here of him, but that's because he's usually at home or at work while I'm out running.
And a close second are my running partners. They help me get dressed (Fella had been playing with my socks just moments before!)...
...and happily ride along.
So next Saturday mornign around 8am, can you cheer me on too?
