For Sherry Arnold

I don't know her but she has been on my mind since Saturday.  I am not the only one like this, I know several of us blogger-runners are thinking about her.  I look for updates on the Internet first thing in the morning hoping for THE good news and fearing reading the worst.  I have been thinking of her during all my runs this week.  I want to believe she is going to return home safe and this nightmare will end for her and her family and friends, for you Beth.


This Sunday I am running a Half Marathon. 
I will pin this bib in the back of my shirt.


I hope that she will be found before Sunday and that she will be well and that I will not put this on the back of my shirt.

Are you racing this weekend?
Join me and pin this bib on your back and take Sherry with you for a few miles.

  21. What a great idea Caroline! Seriously, it's a wonderful gesture. I hope they find her soon too. It is so scary. I run by myself pretty much 100% of the time. These are always things you worry about, but have to kind of block out of your mind.

    Good luck this weekend!

  27. I do consider all the ideas you've presented for your post. They are very convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are too quick for beginners. May just you please lengthen them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
