2008 Chicago Marathon






















Iknow this is way late in the game, but better late than never right? Here are pictures from the 2008 Chicago Marathon which was held on Oct 12th. It was such an amazing and wonderful day. It sounds crazy to say, but every 26.2 miles was worth every second! It is truly an addicting experience. Through out my training since last May, I'd hear things like "You actually pay to run?", "Are you nuts?", "You need your head examined", "You are running how far?"....but honestly, if I can do it, any one can! Plus, it was worth every little ache and pain...

Every mile of my training and the actual race day was dedicated to those that are near and dear to my heart that have been affected by some form of cancer...or the loved ones of my friends and family. I was able to raise over $1500 towards the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It has been said, that if they find a cure of Leukemia/blood related cancers, that they will make huge strides towards a cure for all cancers.

So to everyone...Pop- Pop, Mark Zeidman, Sharon Bathon, Sarah Cadle, Mary Parello, Nora Ligurotis, Raymond Ruge, Steve Roberts, David Hancock, Sam Lupinacci, Mr Nelson, Janet Quirk...this one was for you......

i walked 47 miles 5 days a week delivering newspapers for 3 years when i was 12. you dont see me bitchin and whinin and crying for attention, you fucking slut. and you know what, fuck you for trying to play god and cure cancer. god put cancer on this planet for a reason, so shut you fucking mouth (if theres not a dick in it,otherwise spit the dick out and THEN shut your fucking mouth) cancer isnt so bad, lots of people have it, what the fuck is wrong with that?
god DAMN you are so fucking ugly
i bet while you were running everyone else was trying to stay far ahead or far behind you, you fucking whore. i am watching your house from my vam while i type this on my laptop. one of these nights, i will sneak into your house and kill your ugly ass baby. then i will kill your stupid husband with my bare hands. and then, slut, i am coming for you. but i wont kill you quickly...oh no. i am going to tie you up, place you onto your bed, and fuck your pussy so hard your going to bleed and scream for mercy. then i will hang you upside down from the ceiling and stick my dick in your mouth.after i cum all over your face, i am going to stick a needle into each of your eyes. after all you can see and smell is your own blood and fear, i will bring the rest of your family into the room and slit their throats in front of you while you scream. after they are all dead, i am going to rip your fucking hair out of your skull with my bare hands. and then, i will shove a stake between your stomach and lower intestine, causing you to very painfully bleed to death, and it will take ou a very long time to die.
